Electrical Hazards - Outdoor Fixtures
Electricity provides our homes and businesses with a host of benefits. Many of the activities we take for granted would be impossible without the help of this powerful energy source.

Electrical Hazards - Shock Protectors
Ground-fault circuit interrupters ( GFCI’s) provide protection from shocks in damp or wet locations. They work by immediately shutting off the electricity when they detect any loss (leakage) of current that occurs when someone receives a shock.

Electrical Hazards - Your Home’s Wiring
Household wiring, for example, should not be installed by a casual do-it-yourselfer. It should always be installed and inspected by a certified electrician to comply with national, state and local safety codes.

Electrical Hazards - Be Prepared
Despite the best efforts to promote safety, accidents may still occur. Accidents with electricity usually involve either shocks or fires.

Electrical Hazards - Appliance Safety
Always read appliance manuals and follow the manufacturers’ instructions. Electricity and water don’t mix, so never operate an appliance while standing on a wet or damp floor.
