Abstract
This #EngShort looks at the importance of #safety in our homes and the steps we can take to ensure that our #appliances are safe to use. Do you live in rented #accommodation with appliances you didn’t buy? Have you checked to make sure they are working correctly and more importantly, that they are safe? Here at the IET, we set the #standards for #electricalinstallation, so we know just how important correctly installed and #maintained appliances are for our safety. So, if you’re concerned, make sure you speak to your landlord and get your appliances checked. Comment below if you have any questions about safety in your home!
