Effective cable management helps employers meet their health and safety requirements

As the amount of technical equipment in our homes and workplaces grows, the need for safe cable management also increases.

Cable management is incredibly important in office environments. With hundreds of computers, printers, scanners and photocopiers present, the amount of power cables can get out of hand. An employer has a responsibility to protect their workers and the trip risk posed by loose cables is not an acceptable health and safety issue. Uncontrolled power cables also create an untidy and messy workplace.

Cable management can be carried out during installation or post installation using specialist equipment. Most workplace cable management will be carried out at the time of installation as the sheer number of cables means that an organised installation is necessary.

There are a range of equipment and products used to manage workplace cables. Desk wire basket trays are one of the more simplistic products. They allow cables to be safely stored out of harm’s way in a specially designed basket which is easy to access. Under desk trunking and desk splines are attached to desks and see cables running encased through their entire length. They keep the cables inside them secure and contained, often along a series of desks. Cable protection wrap is used to bind multiple cables together, protecting not only the cables inside but also creating a neat and tidy cable solution. Cable covers provide a similar function but secure the wires to the floor. Used over a multitude of wires, they contain, tidy and make safe.

Desk and floor grommets are another important part of cable and desk management. Sitting over a specially created hole, they allow cables to be fed neatly from the floor to the desk. The cable hole can be adjusted to accommodate a set number of cables. This hole then prevents too much movement from the cables and contains multiple cables in a neat manner avoiding dangerous desk clutter.
