Details

• Corporate Authors:
  CPWR--The Center for Construction Research and Training
• Description:
  Power tools are widely used on construction sites. Flexible extension cords are often necessary to provide electricity to the tool. Due to the very reasons they are used, (exposed, flexible, and unsecured) they are more susceptible to damage than fixed wiring.
