Areas where water is present, like the kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor spaces, should be equipped with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets. These outlets automatically cut power if they detect a fault, preventing potential electric shocks. Make sure to dry your hands before using any electrical appliances in these areas, and never use devices near sinks or bathtubs.
