Electricity fills almost every home today. While power in the home is common, it can still be dangerous if not used correctly, so it’s crucial that both adults and children learn how to make use of electricity safely. The most important way to maintain electrical safety in the home is to use your plug points properly.
Make sure to always switch points off at the wall before connecting or disconnecting any plugs, and leave them switched off when no plugs are connected. Overloading a plug point can be very dangerous. To avoid that danger don’t connect appliances to low-power light sockets and check the power rating of every item against the power rating of the point to which you intend to connect it before doing so. And never insert anything other than the correct plug fitting into a socket, even when the switch is off.
If you have babies or young children, then it’s very important to purchase and install safety caps or plugs into all the plug points within their reach.
Knowing and following these tips will help you avoid damage, injury and could even be life-saving.
