Most electrical accidents are caused by carelessness or ignorance. If you combine a
basic knowledge of electricity, a healthy respect for it, and a dose of common sense, you
can safely tackle many household electrical repairs. Here are some basic guidelines for
working with electricity:
1. Before working on a circuit, go to the main service panel and remove the fuse or trip
the breaker that controls that circuit. Tape a sign to the panel warning others to leave
the circuit alone while you work.
2. Before touching any wire, use a voltage tester to make sure it’s not live.
3. Whenever you check for voltage in a receptacle, check both outlets — each may be
controlled by a separate wiring circuit.
4. When replacing fuses, turn off the main power first. Make sure your hands and feet
are dry, and place one hand behind your back to prevent electricity from making
a complete circuit through your chest. Touch a plug fuse only by its insulated rim.
Remove cartridge fuses with a fuse puller.
5. Use tools with insulated handles and ladders made of wood or fibreglass.
6. To protect children, place safety covers over any unused outlets.
7. When unplugging a power tool or appliance, pull on the plug, not on the power cord.
8. Improperly-used extension cords are a leading cause of electrical fires. They are for
temporary use only—do not use them to extend a circuit permanently.
9. Keep dry-chemical fire extinguishers in the kitchen, basement, and workshop.
10. Never disable grounding devices. Make sure that all appliances requiring grounding
are properly grounded, and ensure the electrical system itself is properly grounded.
11. Meet or exceed all electrical code requirements that cover the work you are doing.
12. Always work with enough light to see what you are doing; it’s easy to make mistakes
when you’re working in dim light.
13. When in doubt about the safety of any electrical repair or test, call in a professional.
