# What is Basic Electrical Safety?

Basic electrical safety practices help prevent shocks and fires in the home:

– Use GFCI outlets near water like in bath/kitchen to instantly cut power during ground faults.

– Check for frayed appliance cords, loose plugs, or outlets that spark – replace immediately.

– Do not use electrical devices near water or while wet.

– Turn off circuit breakers during renovations involving wiring to avoid accidental contact.

– Plugs should fit snugly without adapters which can overheat. Avoid overloading outlets.

– Call a licensed electrician for upgrades, replacements or repairs instead of DIY on main electrical system.

Following simple safety rules and being alert to potential hazards helps ensure home electrical systems operate safely.
