Electrical issues at your commercial property can be panic inducing. Finding a problem when you are about to open your doors, or when employees are arriving, causes heart racing anxiety. You need to get your business up and running, but you cannot overlook electrical emergencies. There are steps you’ll need to take for your safety, including calling a commercial emergency electrician. However, you should not sit around aimlessly while you wait for them to arrive. Instead, prepare to protect your commercial property.
Emergency steps to take:
- Evacuate the area. If you are the only one who has entered the property, be sure to step outside and stop others from entering for their safety.
- If the electrical emergency is causing major damage or hazardous problems, call 911. Then, call a commercial emergency electrician immediately. If it is a non-dangerous situation, such as a power outage or short circuiting that has not yet caused fires or damage, you can call a commercial emergency electrician right away without a 911 call.
- If it is safe to do so, turn off the main circuit breakers to help prevent further damage or injury.
Emergency electrical situations could include electrical fires, power outages, electric shock, fallen power lines, electrical overload, or water-related electrical emergencies. In each of these cases, be sure to follow the emergency steps above, and contact a commercial emergency electrician as soon as possible once you are sure the area is clear and safe.
