Safety & Risk Prevention
Key warning signs and prevention steps for common household hazards.
Why it matters
Basic safety awareness reduces risk of fire, gas exposure, and electrical hazards. Early action protects occupants and equipment.
Core safety checks
- Gas: If you smell gas, leave the area, avoid switches or flames, and contact the appropriate response.

- Electrical: Repeated breaker trips, burning smells, warm outlets, or scorch marks require immediate attention.
Warning signs

- Excessive lint buildup or poor dryer airflow
- Flickering lights, warm outlets, or visible scorch marks
When to seek help
If any safety warning signs appear, stop use and contact a qualified professional or emergency service where appropriate.
Common mistakes to avoid

- Running dryers with clogged vents
- Overloading outlets or using damaged cords
