Tripping Over Cords

Whether you work in an office or on a construction site, there are many potential threats to your safety. Power cords are an everyday part of the work environment, and one risk many workers face on a daily basis is the possibility of tripping over them. From plugging in power tools, to a desk lamp or computer, when power cords are left in areas with a lot of foot traffic, you may be at risk of tripping and falling. Offices have dozens of electronics that need to be plugged in to power strips and extension cords in order to work. Unfortunately, the cables necessary for their function can be very dangerous.

If you or someone you know has been injured at work from tripping over an extension cord, you may be eligible for financial compensation to pay for medical bills and other damages.

Dangers of Cords

Along with computers and lamps, offices also have modems, printers, televisions and many other pieces of technology that require electricity. Because of this, many cords get grouped together and even tangled, causing even more of a hazard.

Tripping on these bundles of cords can result in anything from broken bones, to neck or back injuries. If you have been injured on the job, you need to take action today by getting started on filing for workers’ compensation benefits.
