May is National Electrical Safety Month – Ten Tips to Keep You Safe from Security Specialists – a KIDDE Strategic Partner

May is National Electrical Safety Month – Ten Tips to Keep You Safe from Security Specialists – a KIDDE Strategic Partner!

The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety in the workplace and home. To commemorate National Electrical Safety Month, Security Specialists, a KIDDE Strategic Partner, has outlined ten easy steps that you can take in order to reduce the number of electrically-related fires, fatalities, injuries and property loss in your home or business.

First and foremost, always use caution when working near electricity. Electrical hazards can cause burns, shocks and electrocution (death).
Before starting any household project, know where the power lines are located and where they are hanging. Whether working on the roof, trimming trees, or painting your siding, it’s your job to be aware and to alert others about the location of nearby power lines.
Assume that all overhead wires are energized at lethal voltages. Never assume that a wire is safe to touch even if it is down or appears to be insulated.
Always try to stay at least 10 feet away from all overhead power lines when working.
Call the electric utility company to report fallen electrical lines and stay at least 35 feet away from downed lines.
Carry ladders and equipment horizontally
If an overhead wire falls across your vehicle while you are driving, stay inside the vehicle and continue to drive away from the line. If the engine stalls, do not leave your vehicle. Warn people not to touch the vehicle or the wire. Call or ask someone to call the local electric utility company and emergency services.
Never operate electrical equipment while you are standing in water.
Have a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment that has gotten wet before energizing it.
Never repair electrical cords or equipment unless qualified and authorized.
