All staff are reminded that extension cords used in the office must follow basic safety rules. Cords should never be run under carpets or rugs, since this can cause them to overheat unnoticed and creates a fire hazard. Do not plug one power bar into another, sometimes called daisy-chaining, as this can overload a circuit. Any cord that is frayed, cracked, or has exposed wiring must be taken out of service right away and reported to the facilities desk. Extension cords are meant for temporary use only and should not be treated as a permanent wiring solution for desks or equipment. Employees who need a permanent power outlet installed near their workstation should submit a request through the facilities portal. Cords should also be kept away from areas where people walk, to reduce the risk of tripping. Staff who notice a damaged cord elsewhere in the building should report it even if it is not at their own desk.
