Loose cables can increase the chances of tripping. Trip occurs when a person’s foot is obstructed, which results in a loss of balance, leading to a potential injury.

SmartBench has trailing cables, which may present a trip hazard if not laid safely. 

The picture below shows the scenario:

Preventing cable hazard

To prevent cable tripping hazard, do the following:

  • Ensure cables and extraction are under the SmartBench to avoid tripping. Make sure the cables have enough reach to freely move along the bench without catching on any obstacles.

  • Use a floor cable protector to keep cables safely covered to avoid tripping and damaging them.

  • Always use the cable strain relief to securely clip the power and extraction cables to avoid them being pulled loose while the machine is in operation. 

  • Poor or low lighting will prevent people from seeing cable hazards. Ensure the room where SmartBench operates has proper lighting.
