How to use your electricity safely

Remember that most accidents involving electricity can be avoided if you follow some simple advice such as:

-          If your sockets are faulty or are overheating, contact Boston Mayflowers repairs   

           Freephone immediately on 0800 169 1530. Never tamper with electricity, get expert

           help.

-          Never overload electrical power points.

-          Use electrical socket adaptors as little as possible and use adaptors only for low

           loaded items such as table lamps, radios, alarm clocks etc.

-          Make sure all plugs are wired correctly with the correct fuse fitted.

-          Never take electrical appliances into the bathroom.

-          Never touch an electrical appliance or socket with wet or damp hands.

-          Always unplug appliances when they are not in use.

-          Do not touch any electrical items you think are unsafe.

-          Check flexes regularly. Never use damaged flexes or run them under carpets or

            rugs.

-          Make sure that kettle and iron flexes, pans on cookers etc are out of children’s reach.

-          Consider buying plug safety covers if you have young children.

-          Always use a circuit breaker when using any electrical appliance outside e.g. hedge

            trimmers, lawn mowers etc.
