Basic Electrical Safety Rules Every Electrician Must Follow

  • Keep equipment away from water – Maintain at least 5 feet distance and use GFCIs to prevent shocks and fire hazards.
  • Unplug safely – Always pull from the plug, not the cord, to avoid damage and electric shock.
  • Install & tidy cords – Ensure proper installation and keep cords neat and out of reach of pets.
  • Know your switchboard – Understand how it works; improper load distribution can cause overheating and fires.
  • Watch for power lines – Stay alert around electrical lines, especially when using ladders or working at heights.
  • Childproof outlets – Use safety covers to protect children from accidental shocks.
  • Fix flickering lights – Investigate and repair as they may indicate loose connections or faulty bulbs.
  • Use warning signs – Post clear high-voltage signs where necessary.
  • Avoid DIY repairs – Call a qualified electrician instead of attempting risky fixes.
  • Call for help – In emergencies, contact services immediately for safe guidance and assistance.
