NATIONAL FIREPROTECTION ASSOCIATIONThe leading information and
knowledge resourceon fire, electrical and related hazards
Generator Generator
Just Remember...
Downed utility lines, power company blackouts, heavy snow falls
or summer storms can all lead to power outages. Many people turn
toa portable generator for a temporary solution without knowingthe
risks.
FACT CO deaths associated with generators have spiked in
recent years as generator sales have risen.
!
SafetySafety
When plugging in appliances, make sure they are plugged directly
into the generator or a heavy duty outdoor-rated extension cord.
The cords should be checked for cuts, tears and that the plug has
all three prongs, especially a grounding pin.
If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power
appliances, have a qualified electrician install a properly rated
transfer switch in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and all applicable state and local electrical codes.
Store fuel for the generator in a container that is intended for
the purpose and is correctly labeled as such. Store the containers
outside of living areas.
Generators should be used in well ventilated locations outside
at least 5 feet away from all doors, windows, and vent openings.
Measure the 5-foot distance from the generator exhaust system to
the building.
Never use a generator in an attached garage, even with the door
open.
Place generators so that exhaust fumes cant enter the home
through windows, doors or other openings in the building. The
exhaust must be directed away from the building.
Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home.
Follow manufacturers instructions for correct placement and
mounting height.
Turn off generators and let them cool down before refueling.
Never refuel a generator while it is hot.
