It’s a great time to review electrical safety practices.  You know, things like unplugging a lighting instrument BEFORE you try to change the lamp . . .
 

The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is dedicated exclusively to promoting electrical safety in the home, school, and workplace, and is the proud sponsor of National Electrical Safety Month each May.

 

In celebration of Electrical Safety Month 2015, ESFI announced the launch of the second edition of its National Electrical Safety Month publication, Electrical Safety Illustrated.

 

In this magazine ESFI addresses timely electrical safety issues to equip the public with the knowledge to better protect their home, family and communities from electrical hazards.
