When is the last time you inspected the safety of your plugs? Damaged or broken plugs have been known to cause electric shocks, burns and in worst case scenarios even major fires. When working in an environment with an abundance of machinery and wiring, it is easy to forget that the source of power comes directly from the electrical plug itself. That's why labels for electrical plugs are so important.
Most people understand that equipment needs to regularly calibrated and tested to ensure its safety, but most forget that plugs require the same level of inspection.
Here are some tips on how you can check your electrical plug for signs of damage:
- If there's any sign of burn marks your plug may be damaged
- If your plug starts to 'crackle' or spark, this is a sign you need a new plug
- Check if the plug starts to feel hot when plugged it - this could be a cause for concern
- Inspect the wire connecting to the plug for any signs of damage. If the metal is showing, the plug should not be used for fear of safety issues.
To ensure this inspection and testing is carried out regularly, safety labels for electrical plugs are a good option. These labels can let your team know if the plugs are safe to use, unsafe, recently inspected or due an inspection.
