ESFI Marks 2026 National Electrical Safety Month

ESFI reported that multiple U.S. states and Washington, D.C. proclaimed May 2026 National Electrical Safety Month. Its public-education focus includes lithium-ion battery safety, disaster safety and e-mobility safety.

A broad public-safety campaign

ESFI links the proclamations to education intended to prevent deaths, injuries and property damage. The campaign materials discuss how to purchase, use and recycle lithium-ion batteries more safely.

Product selection is part of the message

The organization links uncertified batteries and chargers with fire and injury risks. Product-specific certification status still needs to be confirmed against an exact, current record.

Why the update matters

The campaign offers a neutral context for discussing responsible charging and electrical-safety education. It is useful to the wiring-device sector without promoting a competing manufacturer or a specific brand.
