Electricity is part of almost every job, which can make it easy to overlook the risks.

Before you power up, take a few seconds to check cords, plugs and equipment for damage. If something doesn't look right, don't use it. Report it. Look before you power up, so you can finish the day and get home safe.

Just because another plug fits doesn't mean it belongs there.

Avoid overloading outlets or power strips, and plug high-energy equipment directly into wall outlets whenever possible.

A safer workday can start with something as simple as plugging in safely.

Water and electricity don't mix.

If you're working in a wet or outdoor area, make sure ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is available where needed. And never ignore damaged electrical equipment around water.

Take the extra time to check the conditions before you connect.

Don't work around the problem. Report it before work begins so it can be addressed safely. Speaking up about one hazard could help you, or someone working beside you, get home safe.
