Whenever an asset or piece of equipment experiences a sudden failure or change in condition that poses an urgent threat to health and safety, it necessitates emergency maintenance. It may also be referred to as breakdown maintenance.
Unplug and put away any electrical appliances you won't use for now. Do not use a tool if the cord is frayed. It is too hot to touch or sparking. Don't let electrical equipment remain covered; proper ventilation is essential. Try not to leave any electrical equipment running unattended.
Lightning strikes, broken appliances, defective wiring, and faulty appliances are the most common causes of house fires. A typical electrical issue surges only last a fraction of a second. Frequent surges can shorten the lifespan of the device and cause damage.
One common source of concern about electrical shocks is proximity to live electrical components. Working on an electrical system without proper safety equipment might result in electrocution or burns. Materials that quickly explode or catch fire upon direct contact with electricity lines are a major cause of explosions and fires.
