Here we are to present some Safety Precautions

1.  Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.

3.  Immediately shut off, then professionally replace, light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that flicker.

4.  Replace any electrical tool if it causes even small electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out, or gives off smoke or sparks.
5.  Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters; pay special care to electrical appliances in the bathroom and kitchen.

7.  Keep clothes, curtains, and other potentially combustible items at least three feet from all heaters.
8.  If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.
9.  Don't allow children to play with or around electrical appliances.
10.  Use safety closures to "child-proof" electrical outlets.

11.  Use electrical extension cords wisely; never overload extension cords or wall sockets.
