Don’t Let an Electrical Fire Shock Your Business

Here are five simple tips that you can implement at your business today:

• Limiting the number of devices plugged into extension cords and power strips
• Removing items with lithium-ion batteries once they are charged and not charging them overnight
• Disposing of old or damaged power strips and replacing them with new ones
• Avoiding “daisy chaining” (i.e., plugging power strips into other power strips)
• Making sure that electrical cords are routed safely away from doorways and not run under rugs or carpets

If your business gets shocked by an electrical fire, your employees, family, and community could feel the burn from your doors being closed. Small steps taken today could make a real difference tomorrow.
