Which of the following would a technician MOST likely perform to prevent a tripping hazard?

An ESD mat protects equipment and technicians from electrostatic discharge but does not address cable placement or tripping hazards.

Proper cable management involves routing cables along walls, through conduits, under raised floors, or using cable ties and trays to keep them out of foot-traffic areas. This is the primary and direct method to prevent tripping hazards in IT environments and is a best practice in both safety and professional standards.

Plenum-rated cable is a fire-safety rating for cables run in plenum air spaces; it has no bearing on trip hazard prevention.

Proper documentation records system configurations and changes but does not physically address cable placement or safety hazards.
