Generator Safety Generators can be helpful in an emergency or an extended outage, but it's important to know how to use them safely. Only operate your generator in a dry outdoor area with plenty of ventilation. Use a transfer switch to avoid back-feeding. Back-feeding occurs when energy leaves the generator and goes back into the utility electrical equipment. This can be dangerous for linemen and others working in the area.
