Appliances
 
Here are some safety tips when using appliances:

  • Use appliances approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Underwriters Laboratories Corporation (ULC). All safe electrical appliances have approved stickers or seals. Also make sure appliances are always well-maintained.
  • Don't plug or unplug appliances with wet hands.
  • Keep electrical appliances away from water.
  • Unplug your oven before cleaning it.
  • Electrical appliances in the basement can shock you if your basement floods. Stay upstairs.
  • Make sure electrical tools such as steam cleaners or electric lawn mowers don't come in contact with electrical cords.
  • All electrical appliance and tool repairs should be done by a qualified person but if you attempt to make repairs, always unplug the appliance or tool first.
