Electricity safety at home
Keep you and your family safe around electricity at home
Cords, plugs and fuses indoors can be a hazard if used incorrectly. Have a fire extinguisher approved for an electrical fire and know the safety ratings for your electronics and appliances.
At-home electrical safety tips
Call a certified electrician to do any wiring in your home. Pull the plug, not the cord, and don't use appliances or electronics with frayed or damaged cords.
Electrical safety tips for kids
Keep kids away from cords and plugs, and never use anything with a cord around water. Keep electrical devices out of reach.
Protecting your electronics
Limit the number of devices on a single circuit, and make sure sensitive equipment (like your computer) is on its own circuit.
