Simple Home Electrical Safety Tips
With our increasing dependency on electricity, potential electrical safety hazards are ever-present in our
homes. Fortunately for us, these hazards can be avoided by being aware and equipped with some
knowledge on how to eliminate and/avoid electrical-related dangers. Here are some electrical safety
tips your electrician may also tell you:
I. As tempting as it seems, AVOID THROWING WATER ON AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. Water is a
conductor of electricity so throwing water on fire induced by an electrical problem could
make the fire larger. Use a chemical fire extinguisher instead.
II. One obvious sign of a severe electrical problem is when your breaker trips immediately after it’s
reset. If you keep on pressing that breaker, you’ll surely start a fire.
III. Learn how to use your fire extinguisher effectively. For your convenience, just remember PASS.
P = pull its safety pin first. A = aim its nozzle at the very base of the fire. S = squeeze its
handle. S = sweep its nozzle in a side-to-side motion until the fire’s successfully put out.
IV. It’s best to know when to fight and when to flee. It is gravely recommended by fire-fighters that
if there are no chances of fighting a fire, all there is to do is to get out of the house as quickly
as possible, and call the fire department once you are already safe outside. On the other
hand, if there are big chances of putting out that fire yourself, then stand your ground but
NEVER let the fire get between you and your exit.
V. We might not consider lightbulbs as potential electrical hazards but when they are kept near
flammable materials, that’s where fire could start. Flammable materials include drapes,
upholstery, curtains and plastics among many others.
