Electrical Safety Tips

1. Turn off power prior to unplugging or plugging in appliances.
2. Plug in and unplug holding the plug securely, not the flexible cord.
3. If the plug is tight in the socket, withdraw plug with an up-down motion, not side-to-side.
4. Plug in high current items such as those with a heating element into their own wall socket (jugs, kettles, toasters, sandwich toasters, heaters, fan heaters and the like)
5. Use a power board with overload and surge protection for low current electronic items only (computers and laptops, LCD and Plasma TVs, DVD/Video players, set top boxes and the like)
