Children are very curious and they are often
unaware of the threat they face from electrical
devices. More than 2,000 children are treated in
emergency rooms due to only electrical shocks and
burns every year as a result of tampering with
electrical outlets. We are using so many
electrical devices and gadgets at our home which
makes our life more comfortable in so many ways,
but it doesnt mean that it is free from risks.
Here are some tips to prevent electrical hazards
at your home

1. Basic Electrical Safety- We depend on
electricity, but sometimes underestimate its
capability of causing injury. Most of the
electrical accident happened at home due to lack
of knowledge of basic electrical safety. It is
our duty to check electrical equipment is
properly connected, grounded and in good working
order.

2. Make Electrical Outlets and Appliances Safe
Make sure that all wiring for appliances and
electronics is concealed in a way that the child
cannot play with the wires. We should always
check for outlets that have loose-fitting plugs,
which can overheat and lead to a fire. Avoid
overloading outlets with too many appliances.
Replace any missing or broken wall plates. Ensure
that there are safety covers on all unused
outlets that are accessible to children.

3. Think Safety First

• Use electrical cords properly, repair or replace
  damaged electrical cords.
• keep electric appliances away from water. Be
  aware of electrical problems.
• It is our duty to cover all electrical outlets
  and wall switches with cover
• plates because covers prevent any contact between
  you and inside wiring.

4. Hire An Electrician For Electrical Inspection
We should hire an electrician for regular
inspections before an emergency takes place. In
order to prevent fires and other safety hazards,
it is necessary to get an electrical safety
inspection. For electrical inspection, you should
always hire a professional electrician.

5. What to do if an electrical accident happens
At first, do not touch the victim body because
you might get shocked too. Search an adult
quickly. Turn off main switches or unplug the
circuit. Call the helpline number or nearest
emergency electrician. If the accident happens
near to a power line or the transformer boxes,
keep others away.

Everyone has the right to work in a safe
environment. At last, be safe at your home, if
any electrical failure occurs at your home,
immediately speak with a licenced electrician.
You should also schedule an electrical home
inspection for the safety of your home.
