May is National Electrical Safety Month

May 23, 2016

To commemorate National Electrical Safety Month , the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) spearheads an annual campaign to educate key audiences about the steps that can be taken in order to reduce the number of electrically-related fires, fatalities, injuries, and property loss.

This year’s campaign features a comprehensive collection of new and updated resources to help facilitate an effective electrical safety awareness program for organizations, schools, or families. Included is an extensive collection of useful fact sheets and related safety tips, plus templates and tools you can use to promote electrical safety and National Electrical Safety Month in your home, school, community, or workplace. We have even provided media outreach materials and social media content to further spread our life-saving campaign messages.

Raising awareness about electrical hazards is the key to reducing home electrical fires, injuries and death, which is why we developed ESFI's 2016 National Electrical Safety Month Electrical Safety Advocate Guide. Together, we can reduce the number of electrically-related deaths and injuries – one home, one school, and one workplace at a time.

ESFI is excited to announce the launch of the third installment of its National Electrical Safety Month publication, Electrical Safety Illustrated. This year's theme is "At Home and at Work: Make Electrical Safety Everyone’s Priority." This magazine will inform readers about common electrical hazards present at home and in the workplace.

ESFI is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety in the home, school, and workplace.
