we're asking for some extra electrical outlets and some outlets are being relocated. The electrician is intending to splice/extend for these purposes. Is this safe?

should be safe?

It's like you plugging in an extension bar. 1 socket becomes 6 sockets.

same theory right? Just my 2Cs.

If the electrician follows the electrical code of practice, it should be safe.

If you are concerned with overloading, you can ask the electrician to wire a separate branch circuit from the distribution box, though in most circumstances, you don't need to. It will cost you more to wire a separate branch circuit.
