General electricity safety tips

Electricity has made our lives easier in many respects, but that does not mean that electricity is not dangerous. We have written some electrical safety tips that we should all keep in mind if we want to be safe while using it.

  • Repair or replace damaged electrical equipment. If they are damaged do not use them at all;

  • Never touch the plug, switch or any other electrical appliance with wet hands;

  • Be aware that hot plugs can be a sign that the electrical installation has not been done properly, do not use them until a qualified electrician has checked the connections;
