With our increasing dependency on electricity, potential electrical
safety hazards are ever-present in our homes. Fortunately for us,
these hazards can be avoided by being aware and equipped with
some knowledge on how to eliminate and/avoid electrical-related
dangers.
Here are some electrical safety tips your electrician may also tell
you:

3. SIMPLE HOME ELECTRICAL SAFETY
TIPS
 As tempting as it seems, AVOID THROWING WATER ON AN
ELECTRICAL FIRE. Water is a conductor of electricity so throwing
water on fire induced by an electrical problem could make the fire
larger. Use a chemical fire extinguisher instead.
 One obvious sign of a severe electrical problem is when your breaker
trips immediately after it’s reset. If you keep on pressing that
breaker, you’ll surely start a fire.
 Learn how to use your fire extinguisher effectively. For your
convenience, just remember PASS. P = pull its safety pin first. A =
aim its nozzle at the very base of the fire. S = squeeze its handle. S =
sweep its nozzle in a side-to-side motion until the fire’s successfully
put out.

4. SIMPLE HOME ELECTRICAL SAFETY
TIPS
 It’s best to know when to fight and when to flee. It is gravely
recommended by fire-fighters that if there are no chances of
fighting a fire, all there is to do is to get out of the house as quickly
as possible, and call the fire department once you are already
safe outside. On the other hand, if there are big chances of
putting out that fire yourself, then stand your ground but NEVER
let the fire get between you and your exit.
 We might not consider lightbulbs as potential electrical hazards
but when they are kept near flammable materials, that’s where fire
could start. Flammable materials include drapes, upholstery,
curtains and plastics among many others.
