May is National Electrical Safety Month, and here at Nueces Electric Cooperative, we think it’s a great time to look around your home and check for potential safety hazards.

Thousands of people across the U.S. are critically injured or electrocuted as a result of electrical fires and accidents in their own homes, according to Electrical Safety Foundation International. Many of these accidents are preventable. Electricity is a necessity that powers our daily lives, but we know firsthand how dangerous electricity can be because we work with it every day.

As the Safety & Loss Control Manager of your cooperative, it’s my responsibility to keep our employees safe, but we also want to help keep you and all members of our community safe.

Here are a few practical electrical safety tips.

Replace frayed wires. Power cords can become damaged or frayed from age, heavy use or excessive current flow. If cords become frayed or cut, replace them before they cause a shock or fire.

Avoid overloading circuits. Circuits can only cope with a certain amount of electricity. An overload happens when you draw more electricity than a circuit can safely handle—by having too many devices running on one circuit. If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker is tripped, don’t just replace or reset it. Find out what caused the circuit to overload and correct the problem.

Use extension cords properly. Never plug an extension cord into another extension cord, and don’t exceed the wattage of the cord. Extension cords should be used as temporary solutions, not permanent fixes.

Make sure you have ground-fault circuit interrupters installed and that they’re working properly. Many older houses were built prior to advanced electrical codes. GFCIs are especially important in parts of the home near water—in the kitchen and bathrooms and in laundry areas.

Our top priority is providing an uninterrupted energy supply 24/7, 365 days a year. But equally important is keeping our community safe around electricity.
