Electricity is a powerful tool. It can also be
a lethal hazard. Better safety standards have
reduced electrical hazards that cause deaths,
injuries and property damage. But good safety
habits are still the best prevention against electrical hazards.
Label Your Electric Panel
ESFI recommends that every adult learn to safely access the breaker/fuse panel in order to turn off and restore electricity in a home.
In order to make it easy to mark your breakers/fuses, ESFI has produced a sheet of pre-printed labels, and stickers that reinforce safe electrical practices. View sample.
To order the Electric Panel Labels, visit the ESFI Library - Catalog section.
