GFCI protected receptacles

Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are outlets that are designed for use around water or outdoors.  The GFCI measures the amount of incoming and outgoing current and will trip if it’s not the same.   By installing GFCIs in every home in the United States, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that more than two-thirds of the approximately 300 electrocutions occurring each year could be prevented.
