- Keep your appliances away from or at least protected from water.
- Make sure any light switches or sockets are an appropriate distance from the sink, or any other water source.
- Try not to overload circuits with too many plugs. The circuit may not be able to handle the load of power strips or surge compressors.
- Do NOT yank a plug out of the wall by pulling on the cord. This could cause problems by damaging the plug or the outlet.
- If you have any pets, make sure to properly hide your cords. Pets might chew on them and become exposed to the wires.
- Keep your stovetop clean. The build-up of food and grease could cause a grease fire in your kitchen.
- When installing lights, make sure to check to see if the bulb wattage matches the recommended wattage for that source. Overloading the socket could cause a shortage.
- Pay attention to any electrical hazard signs. This includes: broken outlets, exposed wires, flickering lights, or short fuses. Leaving this unnoticed could be dangerous!
