Extension Cords
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated
4,000 people are treated at emergency rooms each year after they are injured in mishaps involving electric extension cords. About half the time, people tripped over cords and suffered fractures, lacerations, contusions, or sprains. Thirteen percent of the injuries involve children under-five years of age; electrical burns to the mouth accounted for half these injuries.
CPSC also estimates that 3,300 home fires originate in extension cords each year, killing 50 people and injuring about 270. Frequent cause include short circuits, overloading, damage, and/or misuse of extension cords.

Extension Cords
Use extension cords only when necessary and only on
a temporary basis.
If an extension cord is not marked for outdoor use, use it indoors only. The UL label will tell you if it is OK for outdoors
Inspect the cord before you use it. Look for areas that are cracked or frayed. If you find any, dispose of the cord.
The appliance or tool that you are using the cord with will have a wattage rating on it. Match this up with your extension cord. Don't use a cord that has a lower rating.
Don't run extension cords through doorways, or through holes in ceilings, walls or floors. Make sure cords do not dangle from counters or tables where they can be pulled down or tripped over.

Extension Cords
Make sure the appliance or tool is off before you
plug it into the cord.
Make sure the plug is fully inserted in the outlet. Insert plugs fully so that no part of the prongs are exposed when the extension cord is in use.
When disconnecting cords, pull the plug rather than the cord itself.
Don't remove, bend or modify any of the metal parts of the cord's plug. Use only three-wire extension cords for appliances with three-prong plugs. Never remove the third (round or U-shaped) prong, which is a safety feature designed to reduce the risk of shock and electrocution.
Don't plug a three-prong plug into a two-hole cord.
