Our Matjhabeng Core Functions and Responsibilities
Always isolate the supply when attempting repairs on electrical equipment-remove the plugs and put it next to you. This will prevent someone accidentally switching it on and cause you injury.
As the responsible person in the house, you are to ensure that all electrical repairs or extensions to an existing installation is carried out by a qualified person to comply with law and general safety requirements.
If you have small children in the house, it is good practice to install dummy plug tops on all wall mounted power outlet points. This will prevent children from putting their fingers or objects in to wall mounted power outlet points.
Never try to extinguish a fire caused by a faulty electrical appliance by throwing water on it while the power is still on. First always unplug or switch off the power at the main switch, and use a dry chemical fire extinguisher.
