Different types of construction also can be confusing. We recommend for thick pads, that a laminated pad be used. This construction places absorbent fluff in between two layers of tough fabric, and welds the edges together. The construction is like a quilt. For thinner pads, a simpler pad is needed, such as a meltblown or finefiber, which are homogonous, with no cover material.

Older homes may not be equipped to handle the electrical load of modern appliances, leading to a greater risk of electrical fires. Outdated wiring materials like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring can deteriorate over time, becoming fire hazards.

Young children are naturally curious, a trait that unfortunately makes them more susceptible to electrical hazards around the home. Follow these tips to ensure their safety:

Damaged wiring can result from various factors like aging, rodent damage, or physical wear and tear. Signs include frayed wires, discoloration around outlets, and a burning or fishy smell near electrical outlets and fixtures.

Electricalhazards and control measures

As people age, they may face mobility issues, reduced vision, and other challenges that make them particularly vulnerable to electrical hazards. Consider the following steps to enhance electrical safety for older adults:

Using extension cords correctly, operating circuits within their load rating, and using extreme care when working with electricity near water will help keep you and your family safe. All homes should have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and homeowners should have a licensed electrician perform routine electrical inspections to ensure that their electrical wiring remains safe and functioning.

The biggest danger of electricity is fire. Electrical fires destroy over a billion dollars in homes each year and claim hundreds of lives. Sadly, many of these fires could have been prevented with a home inspection along with a better understanding of home electrical safety.

Granular absorbents With the new regulation in Wisconsin banning absorbent materials from landfills (see Act 86), disposal of clay material is becoming more difficult. We offer an alternative, which reduces your disposal costs and requires less mining to produce. We can supply a product, EZEE-Dri granular, which is a material produced from scrap and recycled wood. This material performs well and is a cost effective alternative to the clay materials.

Staying safe around electricity doesn’t have to be challenging – and arguably modern technology has made our home’s wiring systems the safest they’ve ever been. However, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way to minimize those risks that remain.

Available in Heavy Duty with 100 pads per bag, or lightweight with 200 pads per bag. The Heavy pad is of a laminated construction.

White Oil Only This type of absorbent material is commonly available in pad or roll form. This pad will readily soak up oil of any type, while repelling water and or other liquids such as antifreeze or tool coolant.

Absorbent Socks, 3” x 48”, gray universal. Delivered in a box of 30. Durable outer fabric, filled with absorbent fibers. Available in larger sizes for water surface spills.

Most types of laminated, meltblown, or finefiber materials come in pads or rolls, depending on the application. There are also socks available, which are a flexible tubular absorbent mostly used to surround a leak or spill.

However, in order to be safe around electricity it is essential to understand the risks associated with it, as well as be able to identify the common electrical hazards present in our homes. Electricity still causes over 50,000 home fires per year, leading to 500 deaths and thousands of injuries. Unfortunately many of these accidents could have been avoided, either avoiding dangerous situations or through detecting problems early with a routine electrical inspection.

There are many types of absorbent pad materials on the market, making it challenging for those who are new to using these products. Rock Oil would like to keep it simple for you. Most applications can be matched with the two most commonly used types for oil and other automotive fluids. Scroll down for pictures / descriptions.

Extension cords are incredibly convenient, but also are very easy to misuse! Over 3000 home fires are caused each year by these cords – and likely could have been avoided by following these tips:

Available in Heavy Duty with 100 pads per bag, or Lightweight with 200 pads per bag. The Heavy pad is of a laminate construction.

Rock Oil Refining, Inc. is properly licensed to conduct used oil recycling activities within the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan.

The importance of regular electrical inspections cannot be overstated. Conducted by professional electricians, these inspections detect problems before they can escalate, and ensure that your home’s electrical system meets current safety standards.

Safety measures when usingelectricalappliances

All circuits have a load rating measured in amps. Exceeding this rating causes the wires to overheat, potentially leading to an electrical fire. Signs of an overloaded circuit include flickering lights, warm or buzzing outlets, and frequent tripping of circuit breakers.

While DIY projects can be rewarding, electrical work is not something to experiment with unless you’re qualified. Improperly installed electrical systems can lead to serious hazards like electrical fires and electrocution. Always hire a certified electrician for any electrical work in your home to ensure it is up to code and safely installed.

The thickness (weight) of the absorbent product can vary, as well as the surface material used. Thicker pads are best for larger spills or persistent leaks to collect or hold a liquid. Thinner materials are better for wiping, cleaning, or smaller spills. A simple guideline is as this: If the pad is going to be stationary, placed on a spill or leak, use a thick pad. If the pad is going to be moved around, as in wiping, use a thinner pad.

Do you know the last time your home’s wiring was inspected? If not, now is a good time to have it checked so you can rest easy knowing that your property is safe.

This article will examine the most common electrical hazards we face in our homes and offer some guidance on staying safe.

If you believe you have faulty wiring, discontinue use of the affected outlets and immediately contact a qualified electrician to prevent the risk of fire or electrocution.

If you live in an older home, it is important to have a professional assess your wiring and upgrade your electrical system if necessary.

Granular absorbent, EZEE-DRI, 25 lb bag. This incineration friendly material is made from recycled wood fiber. When incinerated for energy recover, this material generates 60% less ash than clay or DE type granular materials. Works best on oil applications. Avoid wet applications as product may breakdown in water.

If you notice any of these signs, unplug some devices and consult an electrician to help redistribute the electrical load safely.

Inspections should be performed before buying a new home, after major renovations, and generally every 10 years for newer homes or every 3-5 years for older homes.

The first danger of electricity that most people think of is electrical shocks, but modern product safety standards have made this phenomenon increasingly uncommon. For anyone doing DIY work on their wiring system the risks are significantly higher, and these projects should only be undertaken by people who are knowledgeable about the risks and proper safety procedures. However, on a day-to-day basis, shocks are quite rare.

It’s easy to forget that just 100 years ago electricity in homes was a novel concept and still quite dangerous. Over the last century, safety features have improved and we’ve now reached a point where we can be forgiven for assuming that electricity is perfectly safe.

Water and electricity make for poor bedfellows, and for this reason the three most dangerous areas of your home (electrically at least) include a mix of both!
