Electrical Safety Month - May 2013

May 2013 – Electrical Safety Month

May is Electrical Safety Month, and a good time to review electrical safety practices.
Is Your Home Safe?

What many people don’t realize is that electrical fires claim the lives of over 300 people every year in America and injure countless others. It is important to be educated and to seek help from a licensed and qualified electrician. Don’t take chances by guessing or trying to do electrical work yourself. In addition to fire, hundreds of people die by electrical shock each year in their homes. It is important to stay safe and to keep your electrical system working properly and correctly.

We’ve created a 2-page PDF that provides useful information on electrical home safety. Feel free to send it to your customers.

I thought about it all day and decided it was time for my 2 cents.

The flyer should be a great tool. The problem with Mike's approach is that he believes education can make a difference. I want to believe education will make a difference. It won't! We are living in an age of "notification." Automobiles come equipped with low-tire pressure sensors to warn the driver a tire is under inflated because no one checks their tires anymore. Certainly, people are not going to take time to walk around their house looking for problems...many of which would not be recognized by the average homeowner anyway!

The only sure way of reducing the numbers of events is by having a means for notifying the homeowner that dangerous conditions exist so they will take action.
