Use products as intended
Appliances, chargers, heaters and cooking equipment should be used according to manufacturer directions.
Keep damage out of service
Damaged electrical products or equipment showing abnormal heat, smoke or other warning signs should not be casually reused.
Maintain detection
Working smoke alarms provide warning and should be managed according to official guidance.
Leave suppression systems and technical equipment to professionals
Fire extinguishers, suppression systems and building fire-safety systems have product- and code-specific requirements.
General prevention information only. In an active emergency, follow local emergency services and official instructions. Do not attempt electrical, structural, fire-suppression, hazardous-chemical or other safety-critical work without appropriate professional competence.
