 ELECTRICAL CABLE HAZARDS
While a seemingly trivial problem, frayed and damaged power cable or cords that have their ground
prong removed posed a significant risk to employees. Damaged and under grounded cords pose a
threat of electric shock, present a fire hazard, and are violations of safety codes

Power cable can be frayed or damaged from heavy use and age and should be inspected regularly

Frequently, mishandling (such as pulling a plug from a socket by jerking the cord rather than
removing the plug carefully by hand) causes the most significant damage to cord overtime, tearing the
external protective sheathing or detaching it from the plug head and exposing energized wires.

The threat posed by missing ground prongs, the rounded third prong on electrical plugs. These
ground prongs often break off from mishandling or removed intentionally to fit a plug into two- prong
outlet.

Common Hazards to Avoid with Power Cable

Power cables with frayed or damaged external sheathing,
sheathing torn away from the plug or ground prongs
removed.

Puling a plug from a socket

by jerking the cord rather
than removing the plug
carefully by hand

Cable expose to ground which imposed

Tripping hazard and most likely to run
over by the vehicle. Some cases cable
on the ground are submerged into water
which are potentially dangerous.

Ensure all cables are properly

inspected prior to use and inspected
