Tripping on Cables and Extension Cords

Tripping over cables and extension cords is one of the most prevalent causes of accidents and injuries in the home. Figuring out how to organize cables becomes increasingly important when realizing just how risky it is to leave them unprotected. Whether lying across the desk, unmanaged behind the television, or randomly draped along a wall or corner, cables can present serious danger.

Tips for managing cords: run the cord or wire along a wall if possible; tape the cord to the floor with duct tape; use a cable protector; place traffic cones along the cord for increased visibility of the potential danger. For additional information:
