**General Electrical Safety Steps**
1. **Turn Off Power First**
Always switch off the power source before working on any electrical appliance or circuit.
2. **Use Insulated Tools**
Use tools with rubber or plastic handles to avoid electric shock.
3. **Dry Hands & Surfaces**
Never handle electrical devices with wet hands or near water.
4. **Inspect Cords & Plugs**
Check for frayed wires, damaged plugs, or exposed parts. Replace them immediately.
5. **Avoid Overloading Circuits**
Plugging too many devices into one socket can cause overheating and fires.
6. **Use Proper Fuses or Circuit Breakers**
Make sure they match the circuit requirements to avoid overheating.
7. **Don't Bypass Safety Devices**
Avoid tampering with grounding pins or disabling safety features on electrical equipment.
8. **Keep Electrical Devices Away from Water**
Especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Use GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in these areas.
9. **Label Circuit Breakers**
Clearly label your home or building’s breaker panel to know which switch controls which area.
10. **Hire a Professional for Repairs**
If you're not trained, don’t attempt to fix electrical issues on your own.
