Extension cords are manufactured with a maximum capacity to handle electrical current, which is determined by the size or gauge of the wire used in the cord.

'Water and electricity don't mix,' said Luke Osborne, technical director at Electrical Safety First. 'Anything that is frozen will eventually melt and will potentially drench your fan in water.'

Plugging a major kitchen appliance into an extension cord is risky as it can overload the cord, leading to overheating and increasing the risk of fires.

Our trained engineers carry out thorough visual inspections and use calibrated instruments to test plugs, leads, sockets, and appliances, ensuring workplaces remain safe and compliant.
