⚡ Electrical & Charging Safety Tips ⚡
Electrical fires are one of the most common types of fires in the home, and they can start quickly when appliances, wiring or devices fail.
Here are some tips to stay safe from electrical fires:
• Keep power leads tidy and avoid overloading power boards
• Only use approved charging devices
Use chargers and cables that meet Australian safety standards. Cheap or unapproved devices can overheat or fail.
• Charge devices on non‑combustible surfaces
Place phones, tablets, and other rechargeable items on hard, non‑flammable surfaces like a bench or table.
Unplug them as soon as they’re fully charged.
• Clean the lint filter in your dryer before every use
Lint buildup is a major fire hazard. Empty the filter and check around the dryer for dust or debris every time you use it.
• Use timers to help prevent overcharging
Timers or smart plugs can help ensure devices aren’t left charging for long periods, reducing the risk of overheating.
