Safety Basics

Protect yourself and your family.
Each year in the U.S., hundreds of people are killed and more than 10,000 people are injured from electricity incidents in the home. At work, electricity causes more than 300 deaths each year. These incidents are not "freak accidents." In fact, most electrical injuries can be avoided, provided you take the time to learn some safety skills.

Test your safety skills.
