What Can I Do to Stay Safe from an Electrical Shock?
Information may not be reliable

9/9/2015
No matter where you are, you may end up dealing with a number of different hazards throughout your day. One of the most dangerous hazards that you may not always think about is electricity.

In some cases, electricity is so powerful that it can kill people if not handled properly. That being said, there are a lot of things that you can do in order to try and stay safe, while preventing electrical shock. Here are just a few tips that you need to consider to stay safe around electricity.

If you see open, fallen or broken wires, contact North Shore electrical services as soon as possible. This is the most vital tip that you will see in this guide. In some cases, the protective covering on electrical wires will fray. Or, if there’s been a storm, wires will fall down or break. If you see any of these sorts of issues, then you want to avoid them, don’t touch them, and contact our North Shore electrical services as soon as you can. Our objective is to attend to and fix the issue as quickly as possible keeping everyone safe.

Ensure that you have ground fault circuit interrupters installed in all of the appropriate places, and test them on a regular basis. These little devices can play a significant role in helping you and your family stay safe with electricity. Essentially, what they do is turn off the power to a certain circuit or area if they sense that the power is going to surge or if there may be another situation. These are usually installed in areas where there are a lot of different hazards around – unfinished basements, outdoor outlets, bathrooms, kitchens, and wherever else there may end up being an issue. By law, these should have been installed when your home was built. If you aren’t sure if they were, or if they’re working properly contact an electrician to check out the situation at hand.

Don’t deal with electrical wiring unless you have training and experience to do so. Electrical wiring is something that only professionals should be handling. The chance for electrical shock is incredibly high, and if you aren’t careful, you could end up having some pretty severe burns or otherinjuries. In some cases, you may be able to manipulate or work with items like a computer that have electrical wiring in them, but they need to be unplugged and away from potential hazards. If you’re talking about the electrical wires in and around your home that supply you with power, you want to get a professional in to deal with that instead.

Do not be flippant about working around outlets and other electrical devices. Remember how your parents told you to not put a knife in the toaster? That’s the sort of thing that we’re talking about here. Many times, we’ll try to make our electronic devices work the way that we want them to without thinking about how we’re doing it. So, before you go and put that knife in the toaster (or do whatever else with an electrical device), think about what you’re doing and ask if you should be doing it at all.

If you need help ensuring that your electrical systems are as safe as possible, contact our North Shore electrical services as soon as you possibly can. We will come in and take a look at the measures you have already taken, while at the same time making repairs and additions that can help to keep you and your family safe.
