FROM faulty fairy lights to over­ loaded plug sock­ ets, the festive sea­ son brings an increased risk of electrical accidents and fires in the home. This is the warning from new electrical safety


champion, the Electrical Safety Council, in its bid to keep the North West safe this Christmas. The charity


warns that before attempting to outdo your neigh­ bours with dazzling


festive light dis­ plays, you should consider whether your old Christmas lights are still safe. Your existing lights may not be designed to con­ tend with damp winter weather nor meet new rigorous safety standards. If in doubt about the


quality of your lights, the safest and most sensible solution is to replace them from a reputable suppli­ er.


Emma


McCarthy, director of the Electrical Safety Council, said: "As you can­ not see, hear or


smell electricity, it's easy to get car­ ried away at ■ Christmas and for­ get the real dan­ gers of using elec­ tricity in the home. Always double check any electri­ cal product for. fra3dng or burn marks, think about low-level Christ-

a safety device that can save lives by instantly switching off the power if there is a problem, makes a great stocking filler for under £10 and could save your family's life." Lights are not

extra wires create a tripping accident waiting to happen, but extra sockets also offer an invita­ tion to small pry­ ing fingers. To help reduce the risk of accidents, parents should apply sock­ et covers to unused plugs and keep


extension cables to a minimum. One of the most


common causes of electric shocks and electric fires in the home is the over­ heating of appli­ ances. With all the additional appli­ ances around at Christmas such as new CD players, game consoles and hair straighteners, the risk of leaving appliances to over­ heat is much greater. The Electrical


Safety Council rec­ ommends limiting the number of appliances to the number of avail­ able sockets in a room and advises householders to turn off electrical products when they are not in use. The Electrical


Safety Council stresses that all electrical work should be carried out by an approved electrical contrac­ tor.
