Hello Friend,
Hazards at home can be prevented by everyone by being proactive in knowing and warding off danger. Even during the happiest of times and even at the comforts of your home, mishaps can happen!
To give you an idea of the possible things you should be watching out for, here is a list of the hazards that can take place.
Fires, Burns, and Electric Shock Hazards
There’s a reason why the government allocates some of your tax money to fire prevention. Fire accidents caused by faulty sets of equipment, clutter, human error, or even arson indeed are property-wrecking and life-threatening. If you’re someone who is not prepared for it, it could be very devastating. To keep yourself away from such a dire situation, here are the fire and electricity-related hazards you should note:
When you plug too many appliances in one set of sockets or one extension cord, especially overnight, they might consume more watts than the wires could handle. This might lead to overheating or arcing.
Decorative lights are usually turned on for a long time, especially when used indoors, so don’t use substandard ones. They have poor insulation and are often undersized. |
