Electrical Safety
- Never remove the grounding plug (the
third prong) on any appliance or extension cord.
- If you must use an extension cord, use
a 3-prong grounded or approved cord.
- Do not place extension cord across a
walkway.
- If you must use a multi-plug outlet
extension device, look for a UL approved label, do
not overload.
- Large household appliances such as
washers, some dryers, and air conditioners should have 220-volt
outlets.
- Refrigerators and freezers should have
their own standard outlet.
- If there is an oxygen concentrator or
ventilator in the home, use a 3-prong grounded outlet.
- Inform your power company of your
special needs regarding the equipment so that you will receive first
priority in the event of a power outage.
- Additional equipment may overload your
circuit, have an electrician inspect if in doubt.
- Do not allow liquids to come in
contact with electrical equipment.
