Electrical Safety tip

The Problem:
During a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485
deaths, and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes twice as
many fires as electrical appliances.

The Cause:
Most electrical fires result from problems with "fixed wiring" such as faulty
electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems with cords and plugs, such as extension
and appliance cords, also cause many home electrical fires.
In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential electrical fires.
Many avoidable electrical fires can be traced to misuse of electric cords, such as
overloading circuits, poor maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high
traffic areas.

Prevent Electrical Problems:
Studies of electrical fires in homes show that many problems are associated with
improper installation of electrical devices by do-it-yourselfers. Common errors that
can lead to fires include the use of improperly rated devices such as switches or
receptacles and loose connections at these devices. Fires are still caused by
people using the wrong size fuse or even putting a penny behind a fuse when they
don't have a spare. The fuse is a safety device designed to limit the electricity
carried by the circuit to a safe level. Electricity and water are a bad combination. All
electrical devices installed outdoors should be specially designed for outdoor use.
Outdoor receptacles as well as those in kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere else
near water should be the ground fault circuit interrupting type (GFCI).
