May is National Electrical Safety Month, an annual campaign sponsored by the Electrical Safety Foundation International to raise awareness of electrical hazards and promote safe practices at home and in the workplace. Exposure to electrical hazards can result in shocks, burns, fires, explosions, and even electrocution.
Electrical hazards are preventable. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) encourages employers and individuals to take electrical safety seriously by identifying risks, following safe work practices, and staying properly trained.
Some important safety tips to remember:
🔌 Inspect cords and equipment regularly for damage
🔌 Never overload outlets or power strips
🔌 Keep electricity away from water and wet areas
🔌 Use properly rated and grounded equipment
🔌 Report or repair warning signs like flickering lights, sparks, or burning smells immediately.
