Recognize electrical cable tray misuse that can lead to electric shock and arc-flash/blast events and fires caused by overheating. When cables are improperly routed within the tray, they may face undue pressure or friction. The use and installation of cable trays is covered by legally enforceable OSHA regulations in 29 CFR 1910. 305(a)(3), or comparable standards promulgated by States. Safety of a cable tray is not a matter of compliance with codes, but a matter of saving human life and billions of dollars' worth of infrastructure. This manual will offer practical engineering knowledge. However, like any other infrastructure, cable trays are prone to failures that can result in serious safety hazards, financial losses, and downtime.
