Which practice helps prevent trips around EOT devices?

• A. Secure EOT air hose by S-hook if available
• B. Place EOT in an inconvenient place
• C. Leave hoses uncoiled on floor
• D. Tie hoses across walkway

Answer: (A)

Preventing trips around EOT devices comes down to keeping hoses and cables out of walkways. Securing the EOT air hose with an S-hook when available keeps the hose off the floor and out of traffic, reducing the chance someone will trip. Placing the EOT in an inconvenient location or leaving hoses uncoiled on the floor creates a hazard and encourages someone to stumble. Tying hoses across a walkway also blocks the path and can lead to trips or damage. So, using an S-hook to secure the hose is the safest, most effective practice.
