Electrical Safety - How Safe is Your Home?

Electricity is part of our lives. We use it from the moment we wake up and throughout the day. As a result, we sometimes forget how powerful and dangerous it can be.

Electricity can kill. 

Each year, around 70 people are killed and 350,000 seriously injured due to an electrical accident in the home. Electricity causes more than 20,000 fires a year – that’s almost half of all accidental UK house fires.

The attached How Safe is Your Home from Electrical Safety First will give you simple and effective advice to make your home a safer place.
