Cable Health and Safety

[TriesHard]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew where online I could find all the legal requirements for trailing cables etc.
We use cable bridges (a rubber cover thing) over trailing cables in public areas but someone told me this should be painted white? (why do they sell it a dark grey colour then!).

Anyone know where the guidance for these kind of things is online?

Cheeeeers!

That's rubbish. We use them for outdoor work and we have them in all sorts of colours. So long as they hide the cable then they're fine.

Re: any laws, i can't help you specifically, but it should be somewhere on here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/

Good luck
