How to Prevent Shock, Injuries, and Fires

Avoid ”octopus” connection.
Don’t handle a connected plug or light switch with wet hands or when standing on a wet surface.
Never leave an electric iron turned on for some time and forgetting all it. This is often the cause of fire.
Never allow children to prove into electrical outlets.
Use wall outlets, not lamp sockets, for connecting appliances.
In case of electrical fire, unplug appliance if possible or turn off main switch, and use applicable fire extinguisher.
Be sure to use electrical wires that are correctly sized.
Don’t try to be your own “electrician”. Have a licensed electrician do your wiring and repairs.
Keep combustible materials (clothing, curtains, papers) away from lamp bulbs or heating devices.
Do not string cords around nails, pipes, not place them where they will get tripped over or get excessive wear(under rugs, through doorways; near chair rockers).
