Keep cords out of your path or work area. Throw the cord over your shoulder.

Put a Ground-Fault Circuit Intertupter between your electrical power source and your electric products. GFCI's prevent the flow of power when they sense there is a problem. They are a good investment for your bathroom outlets.

Replace missing or broken wall plates, and make sure they're protected by child safety covers if there are little ones in the house.

Never nail or staple cords to walls or baseboards to keep them out of the way. If you puncture the cord, it could overheat and catch fire.

Never use an extension cord as a permanent plug. Extension cords are not sturdy enough for prolonged use.

The third pin on the plug of an appliance is a grounding pin. Never cut it off to fit into a two-prong outlet.

Check your lighbulb wattage. Placeing a bulb with a higher than reccomended wattage into a lamp could catch the lamp on fire.
