Inspect electrical cords and plugs regularly, discard them it they are worn or frayed
Never pull the cord to remove the plug from a socket; this can wear the cord and increase the risk of a short circuit and a fire; can also creates a shock hazard
Eliminate octopus connections; plugging multiple cords into a single socket can overload the circuit
Never break off the third prong on a plug - always replace two pronged sockets with three pronged sockets
Never use extension cords as permanent wiring
Never lay electrical cords under carpets
Always keep electrical cords away from sources of heat and water
Always use safety plugs in unused outlets to protect children
ALWAYS CONSULT A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF YOU ARE NOT SURE
