Holiday Shutdown Ready: How to Protect Equipment and Cords During Downtime

Holiday Shutdown Ready: How to Protect Equipment and Cords During Downtime

The holiday season is a time for rest and celebration, but for many facilities, it’s also a period of reduced activity or complete shutdown. Before the lights go out and the doors are locked, it’s important to make sure equipment and worksites are safe, organized, and protected. At Lincoln Plastics, our cord management and extrusion solutions help facilities prepare for downtime — so operations start smoothly again in the new year.

Why Holiday Shutdown Prep Matters

When facilities shut down for several days or weeks, risks increase:

• Unsecured cords can become trip hazards for skeleton crews or contractors
• Exposed cables are vulnerable to damage when equipment is moved or serviced
• Disorganized work areas delay startup when operations resume

How Cord Management Helps

Our Flexiduct and custom cord covers make holiday shutdowns safer and easier:

• Protect cords and cables from accidental damage
• Keep walkways clear for reduced staff and contractors
• Organize cords to ensure faster, safer startups in January
• Add color striping for visibility in low-light environments
