(1) Keep your work area free of waste paper, trash and other items that can easily catch fire, check on your electrical cords. If a cord is damaged in any way, replace it. Try not to lay cords in places where they can be stepped on, as this will contribute to deterioration of the protective outside coating.

(2) Don't overload your circuits, turn off electrical appliances at the end of each day. Keep heat producing equipment away from anything that might burn. This includes copiers, coffee makers, computers, etc.
