# Power leads on the floor are a fault, not a layout

A cable across a walkway, a stacked adaptor, or a warm plug is not something to step over until Friday.

Equipment power should be boring: a lead that is not under a belt, not across a walkway, not warm at the plug, and not daisy-chained through a tower of adaptors because the socket was in the wrong place.

If you see those, treat them as a fault on the asset or the zone. Tape on the floor is not a permanent design. A lead trapped under a treadmill foot is how you get a hot smell that is blamed on the motor.

## What to write

Which socket, what you moved, and whether the machine still reaches without strain. If it does not, the job is a proper supply, not a longer unsafe lead.

Several consoles resetting together is a clue to the circuit, not three separate console faults. Note the time and which machines. That one note saves a week of wrong parts.

Water and power in the same sentence means stop use of the affected machines and get someone competent. Do not dry a socket and switch it back on as the resolution.
