The necessary evil I am talking about is extension cords! (insert horror music here). Most people don't think twice about these potential safety hazards so I have put together a simple list to use them safely.
1. Don't run extension cords through a doorway where they can get damaged.
2. As tempting as it may be, don't hide extension cords under carpet where you can't see them and they may overheat.
3. An extension cord can be a trip hazard, keep them away from high traffic areas.
4. Never use extension cords end to end. That doubles your risk.
5. Don't use a cord with loose wires or a loose outlet or plug.
6. Never cut or modify the cords or connectors for any reason.
I hope this helps. Have a great weekend!!!!!
