Leads, cables and hoses are part of everyday work on construction sites, in workshops, warehouses and maintenance areas. The problem starts when they’re left running across walkways or spread across the floor.
Apart from making a work area harder to navigate, cables and hoses underfoot can create unnecessary trip hazards and can also be exposed to damage from vehicles, equipment, foot traffic and general site activity.
Keeping them organised and, where possible, off the floor is a simple way to create a cleaner and safer work area.
On a busy site, leads and hoses often need to run from one area to another. Temporary setups can make this particularly difficult, with cables being moved, extended or repositioned throughout the day.
Common problem areas include:
Even when everyone knows they’re there, something on the floor can still be easy to trip over or catch with equipment.
One of the simplest approaches is to look for opportunities to suspend cables and hoses above floor level.
Depending on the work area, this could mean routing them along existing structures, using suitable cable management products or attaching them to a fixed point where appropriate.
Keeping cables elevated can help:
The right solution will depend on the site, the equipment being used and how the cables or hoses need to be routed.
Cable management isn’t only about getting things off the floor. Visibility matters too.
Using high visibility products around work areas can make temporary setups easier to see, particularly in busy environments where there is a lot of equipment and movement.
A bright, easy to identify cable management point can help workers quickly see where leads and hoses have been routed.
For situations where leads, cables or hoses need to be suspended above floor level, the ZipTrade Mega Hook provides a simple way to get them up and out of the way.
The versatile hook is designed to suspend leads, cables and hoses safely above floor level and can be attached to suitable objects using its large hook.
The Mega Hook is:
Rather than letting cables and hoses become another thing to work around, a simple hook can help keep them organised and out of the main working area.
Good site organisation isn’t always about complicated equipment or major changes. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make a work area easier to manage.
Taking a few minutes to consider where leads, cables and hoses are running can help reduce clutter, keep access areas clearer and protect equipment from unnecessary damage.
Get cables off the floor, keep them where they belong and make the work area easier to navigate.
The ZipTrade Mega Hook is available from Raptor Industrial & Safety for use across workshops, construction sites, mine sites and other working environments.
