Electrical Safety Tip

Outdoor electrical safety in wet weather

Three Short Facts
  1. Moisture entering an outdoor outlet can create a shock or fire hazard.
  2. A cover that closes over an empty outlet may not protect it while a cord is plugged in. Wet-weather use needs a cover designed to protect the connection while in use.
  3. Indoor extension cords are not designed to withstand outdoor moisture, temperature changes, and wear.

Three Quick Safety Tips
  1. Keep covers closed on unused outdoor outlets. Ask an electrician to replace damaged covers and provide weatherproof protection while cords are plugged in.
  2. Use GFCI-protected outdoor outlets. If you are unsure whether yours are protected, have an electrician check before connecting outdoor equipment.
  3. Choose extension cords marked for outdoor use, and avoid using corded electric tools in wet or damp areas.

Electrical Safety Tip

Smoke alarm care and replacement

Three Short Facts
  1. Interconnected smoke alarms sound together when one detects a fire, helping alert people in other parts of the home.
  2. Hardwired smoke alarms usually have backup batteries. Connection to household power does not eliminate battery maintenance.
  3. Smoke alarms have a limited service life. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends replacement 10 years after manufacture.

Three Quick Safety Tips
  1. Test smoke alarms every month using the test button and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
  2. Check each alarm’s manufacture date and replace units at 10 years, or sooner if the manufacturer directs. Have a qualified electrician handle hardwired installation.
  3. Check for smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level, including the basement. Ask about interconnected alarms if yours do not sound together.

Electrical Safety Tip

Seasonal lighting safety

Three Short Facts
  1. Even a new light strand can have cracked sockets, damaged wires, or loose connections. Check each set before use.
  2. A label from an independent testing laboratory identifies decorative lights that have been tested for safety.
  3. Decorative lights can short-circuit and start a fire. CPSC recommends turning them off before bed or leaving home.
