Tips for safe holiday season
In the spirit of Christmas, the Visayan Electric Co. Inc., shares these safety tips to guide its clients this holiday season.
1. Look for the PS mark (Product Safety) or ICC (International CodeCouncil) mark when you buy Christmas lights.
2. Keep Christmas trees away from sources of heat.
3. Place wiring for outdoor lighting where animals and pets cannot chew on them.
4. Keep combustible materials away from Christmas bulbs or heating sources.
5. Don’t use lighting sets with frayed or exposed wiring.
6. Don’t overload outlets and extension cords. Avoid octopusconnections/overloading.
7. Train children not to put things into electrical outlets. Plastic outletguards are a good idea, especially for homes with small children.
8. Pull the plug, not the cord when unplugging appliances.
9. Don’t use firecrackers near electrical lines and transformers.
10. Circuit breakers and fuses should be of the correct size for the circuits.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
