Hse alert 42 2018 unsafe use of electrical sockets
The misuse of electrical sockets (as illustrated above) caused a fire at one of our camps. Fortunately, no one was injured and the fire was extinguished, but severe damage was caused
HSE INSTRUCTIONS
• Never, ever insert bare wires directly into a socket without plug: Never insert bare wires into sockets without a plug as this may cause spark and result in a fire, and is a dismissal offence
• Don't overload plug sockets: Never overload an electrical socket or extension lead by plugging in phone chargers or appliances that together will exceed the maximum current rating stated for the extension lead. This could cause the plug in the wall socket to overheat and possibly cause a fire. An extension lead or adaptor will have a limit to how many amps it can take so, to help reduce the risk of fire, be careful not to overload them.
• Regularly check for frayed or worn cables and wires: Check to see if the cable is fastened securely to the plug and check the socket for scorch marks. You should always carry out these checks before you plug an appliance or charger in.
• Unplug appliances when not in use: This helps to reduce the risk of fire. Unplug appliances when you go to bed or when you go out unless they are designed to be left on, like fridges and freezers.
• Keep electrical appliances clean and in good working order: Look out for fuses that blow, circuit-breakers that trip for no obvious reason and flickering lights to prevent them triggering a fire.
• Always use certified and original chargers: Certified and good quality chargers and power cables for phones, computers and other appliances are installed with fuse.
• Always check that you use the right fuse: When you're fitting or replacing a fuse, it's important to use the right fuse for the appliance to make sure the cable doesn't overheat and that the appliance is protected in the event of a fault.

Common Guidelines to Home and Garden Safety
If someone were to ask you why safety is important, how would you respond? You may "know" that it's important to keep safety in mind as we go about your daily activities, but how would you explain the reasons why this is the case? Here are some things to think about.
Why You Should Hire a Licensed Electrician
Hiring a licensed electrician provides several benefits: they guarantee work will meet local safety and building codes; they have expertise to implement effective, long-term electrical solutions; and they can identify and address potential hazards to avoid fires or electrocution. A licensed electrician stays up-to-date on new technologies and codes and carries liability insurance. It is safer and compliant to hire a professional for any electrical work rather than attempting it yourself.
Earth bonding
Earth bonding in bathrooms is important for electrical safety. All metal parts in the bathroom, like pipes, must be connected together with an earth cable to equalize any voltage or current from an electrical leak. This prevents dangerous shock currents by not allowing voltages to build up on conductive surfaces that could be touched. According to regulations, the earth wires from electrical appliances in the bathroom, like heaters and showers, can be directly connected to the local earth connection rather than running all the way back to the main fusebox. Proper earth bonding helps ensure passenger safety when electricity and water are near each other in the bathroom.

Power tools are widely used on construction sites. Flexible extension cords are often necessary
to provide electricity to the tool. Due to the very reasons they are used, they are more
susceptible to damage than fixed wiring. Approximately three people die each day in electricallyrelated incidences. Many of these injuries are related to problems with electrical outlets, power
cords and extension cords.
Safe Work Practices and Tips:
• Inspect all extension cords daily for damage and missing grounding prongs.
• Protect extension cords from damage.
• Never use a metal outlet box as an extension cord.
• Never use Romex or non-metallic cable as extension cords.
• Avoid using staples and nails to hold extension cords in place.
• Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to protect against any electrical
fault.
• Extension cords should only be used on a temporary basis, unplug and safely store them after
every use.
• Never use a cord that feels hot or is damaged in any way. Touching just one exposed strand
can cause an electric shock or burn.
• Make sure extension cords are properly rated for their intended use and meet or exceed the
power needs of the appliance or tool being used.
• If an extension cord is needed for a longer period of time, temporary power taps can be used
when insufficient electrical receptacles are available.
• Ensure that all extension cords are certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such
as UL, CSA. or ETL.
• Keep extension cords out of high traffic areas like doorways or walkways where they pose a
tripping hazard.
• Never run extension cords through walls or ceilings. This may cause the cord to overheat,
creating a serious fire hazard
Electrical safety
Electricity can kill (electrocution) or just shock depending on the amount received. Getting shocked outdoors means staying away from downed power lines or vegetation near lines that line crews should handle. Indoors, ensure proper wiring, plugs and outlets, avoid overloading circuits, and use GFCIs where water meets electricity. Know what to do in electrical emergencies like switching off the power at the main panel. Birds avoid shock by not touching more than one line simultaneously.

There are many electrical hazards in construction work. Electricity can easily cause harm or death through electrocution, fires or indirect injuries like falls. Proper protections include using grounded equipment, guarding live parts, closing panels, inspecting cords and wires, training workers, and locking out power sources before maintenance or repairs. Personal protective equipment like insulating gloves and footwear are also essential to prevent shocks or burns from damaged or improperly used tools and systems. Complying with electrical safety standards and focusing on prevention through planning, inspections and safe work practices can control these risks.

Day 6 1 energy effcent dish washers
Using an automatic dishwasher is typically more energy efficient than hand washing dishes. Older dishwashers should be replaced with new energy efficient models that exceed Energy Star standards and use less electricity and water over their lifetime. The majority of the cost of using a dishwasher comes from heating the water, so models that use less water require less energy to wash a load. When choosing a new dishwasher, consider the water consumption and how well it cleans dishes with minimal hand rinsing.
Day 4 1 new wave cooking( cook tops)
Induction, halogen, and radiant elements are commonly used in modern electric cooktops. Induction elements are the most energy efficient as they heat the pan directly through magnetic induction rather than heating the cooktop surface. Halogen elements heat up more quickly than standard radiant elements but lack precise temperature control. Radiant elements are the most affordable but heat up slowly and keep the cooktop hot for a long time. Modular electric cooktops offer interchangeable parts for greater flexibility. Smart cooktops can automatically sense pan size and switch off for safety.
Day 3 1 trimming electric use in the litchen
Large kitchen appliances like ovens, ranges, and dishwashers are major electricity users. Refrigerators are continuously used and have become more efficient. Using smaller countertop appliances where possible can reduce electricity costs compared to larger appliances. It's easy to calculate the electricity costs of appliances by multiplying wattage by hours of use and the electricity rate. Choosing efficient appliances like slow cookers and pressure cookers can lower electricity use and costs. The impact of cooking heat on heating and cooling costs depends on the type of system used.
1 3 what do energy efficiency labels mean
Energy efficiency labels provide information to help consumers compare how efficiently appliances and products use energy. Labels show either energy efficiency ratings or estimated annual energy use, with higher numbers indicating higher efficiency. Ratings like SEER, HSPF, EER and AFUE compare the cooling and heating efficiency of air conditioners, heat pumps and furnaces. Water heater efficiency can be compared using the energy factor rating listed on the yellow energy guide label. The yellow label can also be used to compare refrigerator, freezer and clothes washer efficiencies. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are generally more efficient than incandescent bulbs and save money in the long run despite higher upfront costs.
4 1 saving space
An electric space heater can be a more energy efficient way to heat specific rooms compared to turning up the central heating. When buying a space heater, it's important to consider the heating element type and features to get the right heater for your needs. Convection heaters circulate warm air throughout a room while radiant heaters focus heat on a specific area without wasting energy heating an entire room. It's also important to consider safety features and controls for adjusting temperature and settings.
4 2 space header safty
Small space heaters are used to heat individual rooms when central heating is too costly or inadequate. They can heat rooms for elderly or cold-sensitive individuals without overheating the whole home. Space heater capacities range from 10,000 to 40,000 BTUs and they run on electricity, propane, natural gas or kerosene. Some space heaters use radiant heating to directly heat objects and people within sight, making them more efficient for short-term room use. Safety is a top concern, as space heaters cause over 25,000 residential fires and 6,000 burn injuries annually in the U.S. When buying a space heater, only purchase newer models with safety features, choose the proper size,
2 4 insulated window
Installing insulated window shades can significantly improve home energy efficiency and comfort. Insulated shades have an R-value rating that indicates their ability to block heat transfer, with higher R-values providing better insulation. Proper installation with deep vertical tracks and weatherstripping helps the shades form an effective air barrier. When selecting shades, factors like the R-value, ease of operation, and appearance should be considered. DIY options like cellular and Roman shades can also provide insulation benefits if constructed with reflective barriers between layers.
2 1 programible thermastats
Installing a smart thermostat can save hundreds of dollars per year on utility bills compared to leaving the temperature the same 24/7. Smart thermostats allow you to program different temperature settings for different times of day. In Pennsylvania, programming a thermostat to turn back 10 degrees while away can save 11% on heating and cooling costs. Smart thermostats are also easy for homeowners to install themselves using only a screwdriver. Models vary in their programming capabilities and potential savings, so it is important to select one with sufficient customization for a home's schedule.
1 2 maintain your heating system efficently
Maintaining your home's heating system improves efficiency and saves on annual utility costs. Doing a simple tune-up yourself, such as cleaning the blower and ducts with a vacuum and checking for gas leaks, can significantly reduce costs. Both heating and cooling systems use the same ductwork, so keeping the heating system maintained in winter also lowers summer cooling bills. A professional evaluation is still recommended annually as there are parts only a technician can properly assess. Safety checks like ensuring no gas leaks are the first priority when doing your own maintenance.
4 1 how to cut your cooling bill in half
Turn off your AC at night and use a box fan on one side of the house and open windows on the other side to cool your home with outside air. Close the windows and remove the fan before leaving for work in the morning. This allows your house to cool naturally overnight without running the AC, potentially allowing you to delay turning on the AC until later in the morning and saving money on cooling costs.
2 3 use fans with your air conditioner
Fans can help reduce energy costs when used with air conditioners by circulating cool and hot air together to lower temperatures faster. Ceiling fans should blow down in hot weather for a cooling effect and allow raising the thermostat, while blowing up in cold weather to distribute heat evenly. Whole-house fans ventilate the entire home through attic mounting and require open windows, while maintenance keeps operating costs controlled.
1 2 using fans with wondo ac
Setting a stand fan 3 feet away from a window air conditioner and one speed higher than the AC fan mixes the cold and hot air together, cooling the room faster and causing the air conditioner to run less, lowering the electric bill.
2 2 loghting humor
A light bulb saw a woman checking her phone on the subway who lived in the same apartment building. The light bulb noticed the woman occasionally and hoped it brightened her day, though it thought the woman may see it as just a regular light bulb. The light bulb wanted a long term relationship with the woman and could last for decades, over 22 years. When the woman was at the hardware store, the light bulb felt a connection when the woman looked at it but she ultimately chose another light that would burn out quickly. The light bulb hopes to see the woman again soon when the other light proves inadequate.
Vampier power
Vampire power, also known as standby power or phantom load, refers to the electricity wasted by electronic devices when they are plugged in but not in active use. In the average US home, 25% of electricity use occurs from devices in standby mode. This vampire power costs US consumers over $3 billion annually and accounts for about 5% of total US energy consumption. Unplugging devices or using smart power strips that can cut power to accessories when the main device is off can help reduce vampire power waste and lower electric bills.
