While handling electrical and electronic items it is extremely crucial to exercise caution. Fatal accidents take place if proper attention is not taken while handling electrical equipment. These accidents are preventable and following are some quick tips to prevent these hazards:
-
Use covers
A cover should be used for electrical sockets, light switches. It helps in giving protection from open live wires; keep rubbles out of range of the sockets. This ensures that children do not touch open plug points or wires and hence, reduces the chance of electrical shock.
Dry equipment
Water and electrical component should be kept separate, always. Wet environment around electrical equipment is strictly prohibited. One should keep all gadgets and electrical pieces above water level.
-
Replace damaged equipment
Any electrical part that gives out spark, shocks or giving short circuits should be mended immediately. Frayed wires should not be left open. Replacing them is the best option. Tampering with old or damaged wires must be avoided. It is always best to check the wiring and equipment for faults with a reliable electrician once every six months.
-
Trust licensed electricians
One must make sure that the electricians one has called is trustworthy and carries a legal license. A reliable electrician will follow all the standard electrical norms and with the help of their training they will do their job in the right manner so that electrical mishaps can be avoided easily.
-
Storing cords carefully
The cords while storing must be taken care of. Twisting or knotting them might lead to tearing which becomes dangerous if kept loose. They must be stored away from the reach of children. One way of storing cords safely is to use cord organizers that are readily available in an electrical shop.
-
Plugging into GFCL
Protection of the Ground Fault Circuit Interpreter is necessary at all plug-in points, even for the extension cords. Portable GFCLs must be kept handy for emergency cases and only the GFCL receptacles must be installed, at domestic and commercial places as well.
-
No modification of plugs
Filing of blades, modifying a plug to fit into any socket, removal of ground pins should be strictly avoided. Doing all such things highly increases the risk of electrocution. A professional technician must handle any complexities of the electrical system.
