It should be noted that a loose electrical contact can and will heat up. This is where the fire hazard exists. The extra resistance will create hotter temperatures. They will also spark.
So, no loose contacts so that sensitive equipment does not loose power (so many busy feet in a hospital) but also to avoid hotter than normal temperatures at the plug and in the receptacle.
