Did You Know? A recent research report from the National Fire Protection Association states that electrical cords and temporary wiring account for over 25% of the estimated 81,000 electrical system fires that occur each year. www.tannelectric.com
Extension Cords • Avoid using extension cords as a substitute for repairing building wiring. • Before each use, inspect the extension cords for any broken connections, damaged insulation or missing hardware. • Don’t try to repair any damaged extension cords but discard them instead. • Running extension cords over beams, walls and around the corners is a bad practice. So better avoid such usage. www.tannelectric.com
Temporary Wiring • Temporary wiring should be used only when there is a need for maintenance, demolition or repair activities. • Use only outdoor approved temporary wiring for outdoor settings and for holiday or ornamental lighting. • Temporary wiring should be placed at least 7 feet above the working our walking service. www.tannelectric.com
Proper Maintenance and Inspection • Tag all equipment lines while they are being serviced, maintained or adjusted. • Inspect and ensure that all the electrical appliances are properly grounded. • Frayed or damaged cords should be removed or replaced immediately. www.tannelectric.com
Safety Precautions • Pen down the purpose of each circuit breaker, fuse, or switch on the panel board. • Label all disconnecting switches and circuit breakers. • Check and cover all unused electrical openings with electrical enclosures and fittings. www.tannelectric.com
