It is well for non technical persons to be cautious, but let us remember that most of the items needed for working from home are of very low loading. My usual advice to NON TECHNICAL persons is
"DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF HEATING* OR COOKING* OR LAUNDRY APPLIANCE FROM AN EXTENSION LEAD OR MULTIWAY ADAPTER.
NEVER CONNECT MORE THAN ONE EXTENSION LEAD TO ANOTHER.
DONT USE EXTENSION LEADS THAT TOTAL MORE THAN 10 METERS IN LENGTH"
*Including, fan heaters, oil filled heaters, halogen heaters, any other heater, hair dryer, portable cooker, kettle, microwave oven, or anything else used to heat or cook food, washing machine, tumble dryer.
