National Electrical Safety Month

6

Union Mutual of Vermont Companies issued the following announcement.

May is National Electrical Safety Month – providing an annual reminder of the importance of using a qualified electrician, respecting the literal power of electricity, and ensuring your property’s electrical systems are up to current code.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in 2022, the theme for the month is “Energy Resilience,” and the rapidly evolving trends in electricity such as electric cars, solar panels, and the use of electric storage units. Click here for the full message from the NFPA.

Electrical Safety can and does encompass a wide variety of topics – installation, maintenance, and repair of electric systems; lightning safety; swimming and boating safety; fire-related hazards; driving safety in terms of coming upon downed wires in the roadway; and more. The NFPA has a wealth of resources, including the two videos below.
