We have all probably done it, and yet this doesn’t make it any better. Incorrectly using power strips is dangerous and can end up being a significant liability for a business. In a pinch, power strips can really save the day. While they are not our favorite way to gain some electrical access, nor are they the most effective. But honestly speaking, if you work in a shared commercial space, it seems you are going to end up needing a power strip (or two) eventually. Because of that, we want to help educate you on some simple ways to effectively and safely use these great little electrical tools!
PROPER POWER STRIP USE: SOME DO’S & DON’TS
We know, they seem pretty much plug and play. But the reality is that electrical fires are alarmingly common, and we don’t want you getting hurt or creating an unnecessary fire risk when you don’t have to! Don’t worry, these are all fairly simple; it’s just a bit of know-how that might save you some trouble down the road.
