1. Immediately report any suspected electrical problems, such as devices that seem to be overly warm, cracked cords, loose plugs, and broken wiring devices. Contact your Division Safety Coordinator, Facilities Electricians, or EHS Electrical Safety Engineer at ext. 4694.
2. Electrical problems are not always revealed at the time of the installation. It can take months or years before an improper connection begins to fail.
3. Beware of overloading receptacles, plug strips, and circuits by plugging in too much equipment. A circuit breaker will not trip immediately when overloaded. Wire can overheat well before a breaker trips.
