Electrical appliances provide convenience and enjoyment to the entire family. However, items such as lamps, televisions and electrical outlets can also pose serious injury risks, as volts of electricity travel through them constantly.
Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind:
When replacing light bulbs in fixtures and lamps, always select the correct bulb, based on the bulb’s wattage. To do so, look inside the light source and find the label that outlines which size bulb to use. Using the wrong size can cause the lamp or fixture to overheat and start on fire.
