Tips for Cord and Wire Safety

Electricity is and has been a vital part of living for decades now. While many adaptations and changes have been made to enhance safety, making appliances and other electric devices much easier to use, there are still plenty of safety tips you can follow to ensure you extend the life of your electronics.

What To Do for Electric Safety

Some of the most vital parts of electrical objects are the cords and wires used to transfer electricity. For best results, keep an eye out for these signs:

• Repair or replace any frayed cords with exposed wires
• Do not pull on cords, whether to unplug, hang things off of, etc.
• Keep electrical objects away from water
• Don’t adjust the shape or size of the plug on the cord

While managing these safety tips can keep electronics in good shape, no electric device should be used for more than 10 years.
