Electricity is essential for modern life, as this energy is used for running most of the household appliances. However, electricity may cause fatal accidents that cause major harm to property and life.
Thus, a person should be very careful in handling all electrical equipment’s, to prevent such hazardous accidents. Our 24 hour emergency electrician Sydney provide some useful tips for maintaining safety norms regarding the use of electricity at home or in the office.
Never ignore sparks or burning smell – If a spark is noticed in an electrical appliance, it should not be neglected and a certified electrician should be called immediately. If a person does not have knowledge about electrical circuits, he/she should not take risk of repairing electrical appliances. Likewise, a burning smell emitting from the appliance should be treated as a signal of fire that may be caused due to the malfunctioning appliance.
Do not touch electrical devices with wet hands – If a person touches an electrical appliance with wet hands, it is likely to receive an electrical shock. The electrical appliances, like washing machines and geyser, placed in the wet floor of the bathroom should be touched after wearing rubber slippers. If the appliance still gives shock, an electrician should be called without any delay.
Do not manhandle sockets and switches – No one should touch electrical sockets with bare hands, as that can be very dangerous. A multiple switchboard should never be overloaded by running too many electrical appliances, which can cause a fire. All electrical outlets should be covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt there. An electrical plug should not be taken out by pulling the cord, as that can damage the wire placed inside. All electrical switches should be tested at regular intervals, to be sure of the safety.
An electrical appliance should be cleaned only after switching it off and taking out its plug from the switchboard. Thus, one can expect to use all electrical devices safely, by following these safety rules. If you need industrial electrician in Sydney for any type of emergency then call on 0481-562-405 any time.
