Recently, a fire was caused by a bathroom heater electrical circuit failure in Fengxian District, Shanghai. The quality problems of bathroom heaters and aging circuits should not be underestimated. If a fire occurs, be sure to turn off the power switch immediately and do not use water to extinguish the fire to prevent electric shock.
Electric shock accidents often occur, threatening life and property. There are risks at home, in the workplace and outdoors. The following is a guide to prevent electric shock:
Home environment
Qualified electrical appliances: Buy products with 3C certification marks, such as electric kettles, which have safer insulation and grounding designs.
Inspect electrical appliances: Check wires and plugs frequently. For example, the wires of washing machines are easily damaged. Appliances that exceed the service life (8-10 years for electric water heaters) should be replaced in time.
Use sockets correctly: avoid overloading and do not plug in multiple appliances; keep dry to prevent water ingress and electric shock.
Home wiring
Install leakage protection: Install leakage protection devices in the distribution box, and leakage in humid places such as bathrooms will trip in time.
Professional wiring: Professional electricians wire, select wire specifications according to load, and protect wires through pipes.
Daily habits
Keep away from dangerous electrical appliances: Children should stay away from sockets and use protective covers to prevent touching.
Dry hand operation: Keep hands dry when plugging and unplugging plugs and switching electrical appliances.
Note environmental humidity: Use waterproof covers for sockets in humid places such as bathrooms and kitchens, and keep electrical appliances away from water sources.
Equipment maintenance
Regular maintenance: Factories and offices regularly inspect and maintain electrical equipment, test motor insulation, and check distribution cabinet connections.
Specialized operation: Professional electricians operate electrical equipment installation and maintenance.
Safety measures and training
Install protective devices: Install guardrails and warning signs around high-voltage distribution cabinets.
Employee training: Train employees to use electricity safely, identify electrical faults and first aid.
Outdoor environment
Stay away from high-voltage lines: Keep a safe distance from high-voltage lines (about 5 meters for 1-10 kV), and do not fish or fly kites under high-voltage lines.
Pay attention to public facilities: Observe signs of leakage in street lights and telephone poles on rainy days, and ensure that outdoor electric equipment is grounded and waterproof.
