Electric shock can cause death
When working with electrical equipment wear rubber-soled shoes, avoid damp locations and hold all tools by their insulated handles. Never touch conductive surfaces such as pipes or metal bracing. Use a non-conductive fiberglass ladder when working with electricity. Avoid shorting electrical circuits.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker is tripped, don’t just replace or reset it. Find out what caused the circuit to overload and correct the problem.

Never replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one that exceeds the amperage rating for a given circuit.
Avoid using several high-amperage appliances - such as irons or other heat-producing appliances - on the same circuit.

Never replace a fuse with a penny or any other material that conducts electricity.
Appliances
Appliances
All household appliances should bear the label of an independent testing laboratory, indicating that they meet basic safety standards.
Keep heat-producing appliances, such as electric space heaters, electric ranges, and irons at least three feet (one meter) away from furniture, curtains, bedding, or anything that will burn.

Allow plenty of air space around televisions, computers, and stereos to prevent overheating.
Keep electrical cords away from heat-producing appliances, such as toasters and coffee makers.
Be sure that detachable appliance cords, such as those used with coffee makers, deep-fat fryers, and popcorn poppers are rated for the electrical-load requirements of the appliance Electrical Outlets
Have a professional electrician replace old or damaged outlets with modern, three-wired, polarized receptacles. Proper grounding is essential to minimize fire and shock hazards.
Plugs should match outlets. Three-pronged plugs require three-wired receptacles or a properly grounded adapter. Polarized plugs (now standard), with one prong wider than the other, require polarized receptacles.
Never cut off or bend the ground pin of a three-pronged plug. This ground connection protects you from severe shock caused by a faulty cord or malfunctioning appliance.
Never alter the wide prong of a polarized plug to make it fit into an outdated outlet. Have the outlet replaced and properly grounded.
Protect children from electrical shock by installing plastic safety inserts in unused outlets.
