Protect your family against accidental electrical contact or shock by observing the following safety practices:<\/p>\n
Do not overload electrical outlets.<\/p>\n
Install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets in the kitchen, bathroom, outdoor receptacles, and other water access areas. A GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the flow of electricity.<\/p>\n
Even when using GFCI outlets, do not place electrical appliances near water holding and water storage areas.<\/p>\n
Place safety covers on all unused wall outlets.<\/p>\n
Use proper wattage when replacing burned-out bulbs for lamps and lighting fixtures to prevent overheating and risk of fire.<\/p>\n
Replace burned out light bulbs immediately. Never leave lamp sockets empty.<\/p>\n
Use an adapter with a ground tab for a three-pronged plug. Never attempt to remove the third prong.<\/p>\n
Avoid extension cords as a permanent means for wiring. Extension cords should be used only on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n
Do not connect multiple extension cords together.<\/p>\n
Never run extension cords underneath rugs, carpets, or furniture. Walking on cords can lessen the durability of the cord and possibly cause a fire.<\/p>\n
Replace faulty electrical products.<\/p>\n
Never leave small appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, toasters, radios, and TVs within the reach of small children and pets.<\/p>\n
Never use a fork or knife to remove food objects from a toaster.<\/p>\n
Keep heating pads and electric blankets on relatively low settings to avoid overheating. Never tuck in the sides or ends of an electric blanket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
