Everyone knows that electricity is dangerous but you may not realize that as you go about your day taking care of the needs of your house, there may be instances where you are exposed to the dangers of electricity without knowing it. One of the best ways to avoid these risks is to hire a licensed electrician to address any electrical issues you may have. 
Here are five electrical safety tips from the qualified, experienced electricians at Cirtcele Electric:
- Safety first, as they say. Working with electricity can be dangerous so avoid working on electrical outlets yourself and hire a professional to address issues with arcing, short circuits, or overloaded outlets.
- Shutting off the power at the breaker box is necessary when working on any electrical device; this is essential for do-it-yourself home repairmen. Test the circuit to make sure it is turned off.
- Never use metal ladders when working around electricity. Use a wooden or insulated fiberglass ladder.
- Never work around electricity in a wet area. If there is no way to avoid this situation, wear rubber boots and gloves to decrease the chance of being shocked. Never touch plugs or outlets with wet hands.
- If you are working on the electricity in your house and have turned off the breaker, make sure you put a warning label or note on the breaker box. You would not want someone inside the house, who is unaware that you are working with electricity, to switch on the breaker.
