  • Never place items, especially metal utensils, inside an electric appliance while it is plugged into a wall outlet.
  • Children tend to stick paper clips or other small items they find in electrical outlets.
  • Never forget -- water and electricity don't mix.
  • Inspect wiring of equipment before each use. Replace damaged or frayed electrical cords immediately.
  • Know the location and how to operate shut-off switches and/or circuit breaker panels. Use these devices to shut off equipment in the event of a fire or electrocution.
  • Use safe work practices every time electrical equipment is used.
  • Use only multi-plug adapters equipped with circuit breakers or fuses.

To avoid electrical shock, always turn off the power before working on electrical circuits, avoid using electrical devices near water or wet surfaces, use insulation tools and wear protective gear when handling electrical equipment, and have a professional electrician perform any complex electrical work.
