Power tools often require extension cords on construction sites, but these cords are susceptible to damage. Many injuries occur due to problems with electrical outlets, power cords, and extension cords. To prevent injuries, workers should inspect cords daily for damage, protect them from damage, avoid staples and nails, use ground fault circuit interrupters, only use cords temporarily and store them after use, never use damaged cords, ensure cords are rated properly, and keep cords out of high traffic areas.
