Electrical safety

Help to reduce the risk of electrical accidents and fires around your home

• Register any electrical appliances that you bring into your home: If there is a problem, the manufacturer will be able to contact you
• Don’t overload sockets: Visit electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk and use the electrical calculator to make sure that you are safe
• Don’t use electrical appliances from overseas in the UK: Products manufactured for use in other countries may operate at a different voltage and frequency
• Don’t attempt any repairs to the electrical wiring or appliances yourself
• Don’t take mains-powered electrical products into the bathroom
• Don’t touch electrical appliances or switches with wet hands
• Don’t plug adaptors into adaptors
• Do tell Broadacres immediately if you think there is a problem with your electrical system
