Expressing support for the designation of May 2025 as "National Electrical Safety Month".
HRES 443 designates May 2025 as "National Electrical Safety Month" to raise public awareness about electrical hazards. The resolution highlights statistics showing electrical failures cause over 500 deaths, 1,400 injuries, and $1.3 billion in property damage annually, urging citizens to adopt safety practices like installing smoke alarms and using safety devices (e.g., ground-fault interrupters). It encourages individuals to inspect homes/workplaces for hazards, promote safety habits, and supports the Electrical Safety Foundation’s educational efforts. The resolution is symbolic - it does not create new laws but asks the President to issue a proclamation encouraging public observance through safety programs.
