With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, electricity has become one of the indispensable sources of energy in our daily lives. However, if electrical and electrical equipment is not used correctly, it will not only cause damage to the equipment but may also cause safety incidents such as fires. Therefore, knowledge and mastery of security of use of electricity are essential to protect the lives and property of oneself and others。
I. Basic principles of electricity security
1. Do not pull wires at will and use fixed outlets to the extent possible
2. Refrain from using broken or ageing electrical wires and appliances
3. Do not overload power lines or outlets
4. Do not place electrical equipment in a damp environment
5. Do not place flammable items on electro-thermal equipment
6. Do not use electrical appliances where gas and liquefied gas leaks occur。
Ii. Home appliances security
Refrigerator: should be placed in a well-ventilated, dry and cold place, far from thermal sources and wet environment; and should not store flammable explosive articles in refrigerators。
Televisions: avoid continuous use for long periods of time, when not needed, to shut down the power supply in a timely manner; maintain air flow around televisions and avoid damp and hot environments。
Laundry machines: should be used on a flat and hard ground to avoid damp and high temperatures; care should be taken to check whether power lines are broken。
4. Electrical ovens: should be placed in a well-ventilated and dry area away from flammable articles; care should be taken to check whether electro-thermal elements are broken or ageing。
5. Electric cooking: should be placed in dry areas to avoid damp and high temperatures; care should be taken to check whether power lines are broken or ageing。
Iii. Safe employment passers
1. Careful reading of the instructions prior to the use of electrical appliances in order to understand the methods of use and care
2. Keeping hands dry and avoiding electrical accidents while using electrical appliances
3. Do not contact electrical appliances with wet hands in order to avoid electrical accidents
4. The timely closure of electrical power in case of electrical anomalies and the request of professionals for inspection and maintenance
5. Periodic inspection of electrical lines and equipment at home to ensure their integrity
6. Checking whether home appliances are closed before going out or sleeping to avoid energy waste or safety accidents。
Iv. Electricity security in special circumstances
1. Humid environment: when using electrical appliances in humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, special attention shall be paid to preventing electrical contact and short circuits, and to the maximum extent possible, to the use of tidal-resistant appliances。
2. Outdoor environment: avoiding thunderstorm weather when using electrical appliances outside the house, avoiding rain under trees and using electrical appliances; selecting mine-proof electrical appliances to the extent possible。
3. High-temperature environment: when using electrical appliances in high-temperature environments, special attention should be paid to heat dispersion to avoid overheating of electrical appliances causing fires; as far as possible, high-temperature appliances should be selected。
4. Flammable explosive environment: special care should be taken in the use of electrical appliances in environments with flammable explosive substances in order to avoid fires and explosions; explosive-proof electrical appliances should be selected as much as possible。
V. Education for safe electricity for children
Children's curiosity and lack of awareness of the dangers make safe electricity education for children important. Parents should educate their children about basic safety of use of electricity, such as the non-dismantling of electrical appliances and the non-plugging of metals, and monitor their use of electricity to ensure their safety。
In short, security of access to electricity is an issue that every family must focus on. The safety and health of family members can be ensured only if there is knowledge of the safety of electricity. We should focus on the safety of access to electricity at all times, raise our own awareness of the safety of access to electricity, make scientific use of electricity, provide safe use of electricity, reduce energy savings and work together to create a better and safer home。
