Tripping hazards like wires on the floor can cause trips and falls that result in injury, especially in small rooms with less space to avoid obstacles. It is important to keep the workspace tidy and watch your steps if the room remains hazardous. Spilled liquids in a small radio room with expensive electrical equipment could damage equipment if a trip or fall occurs. No liquids should be brought into the room and everything should be drunk outside to prevent water contact. Equipment could be damaged if an untrained amateur uses the radio equipment incorrectly. Basic training or supervision by an experienced person is needed before entering the radio room to prevent misuse.
