How many of your mothers scolded you for untied shoes, and you didn't listen until you fell on the road and got injured. Almost everyone, right? And from that incident, we started tying our shoes without fail. This is not the only case. We humans tend to make mistakes, then learn from them, and that is not even wrong. But avoiding these mistakes is better, especially when your safety is at stake.
One of the biggest mistakes we make is not paying proper attention to gas and electric safety checks. And trust me, this is not as small as falling on the road. One mistake and you might get injured for a lifetime. So, before you learn your lesson from your mistakes, we are here to care for you and to save you from those horrible and painful injuries.
The very first mistake we do is making assumptions that we have been doing safety checks for the last 5 to 10 years, but there's no fault we found in the system, so this time, there is no need to do an inspection. This is where you go wrong; it is good if there's no fault, but regular inspection will only provide safety, so it's better to do it. And it's even a law that gas and electric safety checks must be carried out in every two years.
- Technology has evolved, and we
humans have created safety tools, but do we use them properly? When was the
last time you checked that your smoke sensor is in appropriate condition? We
wait for something big to happen and then open our eyes. But this time, be an
ideal citizen, and follow the rule: check the smoke alarm once in every 12
months.
- Just like untied shoes, never
ignore the small issues. If you find that there is any kind of problem with the
heater, air conditioning, or any electrical system, repair it or replace it
immediately. And use a modern switchboard with RCD (Residual Current Device).
It disconnects the power if it finds an imbalance current flow. It protects you
from electrical shock or fire.
- You people are surely intelligent, and you can do everything you want, but some things you should leave for professionals. Especially where risk is involved. Instead of doing a safety check on your own, let the licensed experts handle that. Because they are well-trained and have proper knowledge to handle the risky process, you can just relax and enjoy your time while they carry out the home safety inspection.
In conclusion, gas and electrical safety is not
something we should take lightly. Do not neglect electronic or gas issues, even
if it's a minor defect. Conduct a proper safety inspection through licensed
professionals only. Make sure you use RCDs and smart switchboards. Following
all these steps can save you from lifetime injuries or a horrible
experience. We can learn from our
mistakes, but if the mistakes cost your life, then it is good to learn before
something happens.
