At Oncor, electrical safety has been a top priority over many lifetimes. Ever since we began delivering power to Texans more than a century ago, we have practiced safety awareness and recognized its importance in the life of everyone we serve. When it comes to the need for electrical safety, no one is exempt. That is why our Lifetime of Safety messages will cover Texans of all ages and for every season of the year. We are privileged to pass along our decades of experience through the Lifetime of Safety program.
Our featured tips this month highlight post-holiday safety:
- Get a head start on safety for the next holiday season. Before storing your holiday light strings, check for damaged cords and plugs, and replace as needed.
- To avoid fire hazard, don't continue to light up a natural tree after branches and needles are dry.
- Be sure that any new electric-powered plug-in toys bear the seal of Underwriters Laboratories or another recognized certification specialist.
- Teach children not to carry electrical toys and products by the cord.
- For older children, teach the right way to unplug an electrical product by holding the plug – not the cord.
- For younger children, install childproof electric outlets in your home.
