Safety Alert: Exposed Electrical Panel

We went to a client's home to work on a project when we ran into this panel (picture underneath). This might not seem a big deal but having exposed electrical may lead to many consequences that can be detrimental.

Exposed Panel Can:

• Create Shocks

• Cause Electrocution

• Start Fires

• Could allow metallic objects to fall into the circuits that can arc or become energized.

• Allow dust, dirt, and debris to accumulate

Covered Panel Can:

• Will contain the sparks from igniting surrounding combustibles

• Protect from others getting into the box and causing damage

Take a moment today and look at your electrical panel, outlets and switches to keep your family, friends, and pets safe. If you see a situation like this, call your local handyman. It’s such an easy fix.
