How many times have you seen a surge protector that’s been overloaded or even has another surge protector or extension cord plugged into it? This is called daisy chaining and increases the potential for creating a short in the outlet and causing a fire.
Eliminating daisy chains will help prevent fires caused by overloaded electrical outlets.
And that’s smart safety!

While an employee may not be at fault, it could very well be a failure of a procedure or an uninspected piece of equipment. Creating an environment where everyone is invested in safety is the best way to prevent workplace hazards.
By making equipment and vehicle checks a part of the daily routine and conducting regular inspections of the work area for often-overlooked hazards, you can help reduce potential accidents and injuries to employees.
