Safety
Electricity is present in practically every facet of our modern lives. As our reliance on electricity grows, so does the potential for electrical safety hazards. Electrical incidents and fires disrupt countless lives and result in the loss of billions of dollars in productivity and assets each year.
The most recent statistical data from the National Fire Protection Association indicates an annual average of almost 51,000 home fires involving electrical failure or malfunction, claiming nearly 500 lives, injuring more than 1,400 people, and resulting in more than $1.3 billion in property damage. In addition, statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission show that nearly 400 people are electrocuted in the United States each year.
Electrical safety awareness and education among consumers, families, employees, and communities will prevent electrical fires, injuries, and fatalities.
