Working with electricity can be dangerous, so it is important to take safety precautions to prevent accidents. Here are some electrical safety tips to follow:

1. Avoid water at all times when working with electricity. Never touch or try repairing any electrical equipment or circuits with wet hands. It increases the conductivity of the electric current.

2. Never use equipment with frayed cords, damaged insulation, or broken plugs.

3. If you are working on any receptacle at your home, always turn off the mains. It is also a good idea to put up a sign on the service panel so that nobody turns the main switch ON by accident.

4. Always use insulated tools while working.

5. Be observant of warning signs like “Shock Risk” and follow the safety rules established by the electrical code followed by the country you’re in.

6. Always use appropriate insulated rubber gloves and goggles while working on any branch circuit or any other electrical circuit.

7. Never touch plumbing or gas pipes when working with electricity.

8. Unplug all unused appliances to reduce potential risks.

9. Replace or repair damaged electrical cords to keep your home safe.

10. Keep your used and unused cords tidy and secure to prevent damage.

11. Check all equipment is in good working order and avoid overloading sockets by providing enough.

12. Install properly and tidy electrical cords.

13. Prevent all potential contact with live electrical current.

14. De-energize equipment and use lockout/tagout.

15. Only those who are qualified to work with electrical components should do so. Otherwise, it is always in your best interest to keep away from live electrical currents.

By following these electrical safety tips, you can help prevent accidents and ensure that you are working safely with electricity.
