 |
Use all appliances and equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. |
|
Inspect and Replace damaged electrical equipment or have it repaired by a qualified electrician or a repair center. |
|
Never overload power strips and surge suppressors. |
|
Only use extension cords that are the right wire gauge and insulation type. If an appliance does not allow the use of an extension cord then do not use one. |
|
Use ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection on all electrical outlets located near water sources such as bathrooms, kitchens, fountains and swimming pools. |
|
Only purchase electrical appliances and equipment tested and approved by an independent testing laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL). |
|
Keep your body, arms, long handled tools, saws, ladders, pool tools, lumber and anything that reaches above your head at least 10 feet away from overhead power lines. |
|
Call 811 before you dig. If you’re planting bushes or trees or just digging a hole for a fence post, call 811 at least two days ahead of time. It’s a free service that notifies utilities to come to your home and mark the location of their underground facilities like electric, gas, cable TV and water lines. |
