Safety Tips

Do not use appliances when standing in water or on a damp floor. The human body is a good conductor of electricity.
In case of electrical fire, unplug the affected appliances or shut off the power from the main control panel. If the fire is
a small one, then put it out with a Class "C" electrical fire extinguisher, multi-purpose fire extinguisher, or baking
soda. NEVER use water! If the fire is too big to put out, then leave immediately and take everyone with you. Then,
call the fire department, giving them the name and address. Be sure to tell them that it is an electrical fire.
Never replace a fuse with a penny in the fuse box! The fuse is for your protection, and if the circuit gets overloaded,
the wires in the wall can overheat, causing a house fire.
Never insert a metal object into a toaster or any other electrical appliance. Metal conducts electricity, which
could result in serious injury or death.
Never use an electric appliance in or around a tub or shower. The water can become energized, totally frying and
killing you!
Do not overload extension cords and power strips with more appliances than what they are designed to handle.
If a power line was to fall on your vehicle, do NOT get out until emergency personnel arrive. If you absolutely must
leave your car due to a fire or other emergency, then jump clear without touching the car and the ground at the
same time. Be sure to land with your feet together. Then, shuffle away with your feet close together.
If someone is ever shocked, do not touch them if they are in contact with an electrical power source - shut off the
power from the main control panel! Then call for help, and be sure to report that the victim is suffering from an
electrical injury.If the victim is not breathing, then apply CPR if you are certified. Be sure to keep their head low
and cover them with a blanket, until help arrives.
Keep away from Pad-mounted transformers. Do not dig near them or pry them open. If you ever find one that
is unlocked, contact the appropriate electrical utility immediately.
