After an outage

Take care when moving around your property:

• If you receive any "tingles" when touching electrical appliances or water taps, turn off the main switch immediately and seek assistance from a qualified electrician.
• Exposed wires should be treated with care. Turning off the main switch does not mean that the wires feeding power to your house will be safe.
• If circuit breakers trip or fuses blow, this is a warning that something is wrong - switch the circuit off and seek qualified advice.
• Keep children well away from electrical equipment.
• Stay clear of any fallen power lines - treat them as live at all times.
