ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Electrical contractors run temporary leads, extension cable and tool cord across job sites that change layout every day. CableSafe keeps those leads off the floor and out of the way of foot and vehicle traffic, in equipment that’s safe to use around the work you’re actually doing.
THE SITUATION ON SITE
Electrical contract work moves fast: a new job site layout every day, temporary distribution boards, extension leads and tool cord strung across whatever floor space is available that day. On a shared site with other trades, that lead is a trip hazard for everyone on-site, not just the electrical crew running it.
Because the work itself is electrical, any cable protection or barrier used near it has to be non-conductive by design – a metal cable ramp or an ad-hoc solution isn’t just inadequate, it can introduce a new hazard on top of the one it’s meant to solve. Work at height for lighting installs and overhead cable runs adds a dropped-objects risk on top of the floor-level trip hazard.
CableSafe supplies electrical contractors with a kit that’s built for a job site that changes daily: non-conductive, quick-deploy cable protection that keeps leads off the floor without slowing down the crew, and drop-prevention gear for tool and hardware use at height.
COMMON HAZARDS
Extension leads and tool cord across shared floors
Temporary leads strung across a daily-changing job site layout are a trip hazard for every trade on site, not just the electrical crew running the cable.
Non-conductive protection is a must, not a nice-to-have
Cable protection used near live electrical work has to be non-conductive by design – improvised or metal solutions can introduce a new hazard on top of the one they’re meant to solve.
Dropped tools during overhead and lighting work
Lighting installs and overhead cable runs put tools and small hardware above occupied work areas, adding a dropped-objects risk to the daily trip hazard on the floor.
CABLESAFE SOLUTIONS
Kabelveiligheid
Route extension leads and tool cord off the floor with 3-channel cable guards for light runs and 5-channel cable guards for bundled leads, and lift crossings clear of vehicle traffic with a heavy-duty cable stand – all non-conductive by design.
Veiligheidshaken
Suspend hoses, extension leads and tool cord off the floor entirely with a range of veiligheidshaken, keeping walkways clear during installs, maintenance visits and shared-site work.
Preventie van laten vallen voorwerpen
Secure tools and hardware during overhead and lighting work with a steel securing lanyard, catch what still gets dropped with a veiligheidsnet ter bescherming tegen vallen, and close off gaps with a combi-net around scaffolding.

BUILT TO WORK SAFELY ALONGSIDE LIVE ELECTRICAL WORK
Because this equipment works right alongside live electrical installations, non-conductive materials aren’t optional – it’s the baseline every product in the CableSafe range is built to. That means one kit works safely across every job, without a second-guess about what’s appropriate for the task.
Job sites change daily, so speed matters as much as safety. CableSafe’s cable guards and safety hooks are designed to go up and come down fast with a single installer, and to move with you from job to job rather than staying fixed to one site.
WHY ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS SPECIFY CABLESAFE
Westmark B.V., the company behind CableSafe, has been supplying safety hardware to contractors and industrial sites since 1991 – long enough to know that equipment used near live electrical work has zero margin for a wrong material choice.
Our cable guard and barrier ranges are built to the standards your safety officer already checks against: EN 1263-1 for netting systems, and the general secondary-retention and dropped-objects principles behind DROPS guidance for tools and equipment used at height.
Every product ships with the documentation your HSE file needs, and our team can help you put together a standard kit for your crew so nothing gets improvised on the day.
