Swa clipped with plastic cleats found during condition report.

hertzal123
Found the above on the wall of a pub beer garden during an inspection.It runs horizontally 2m above ffl.

Was going to give it a C3,but a friend thought it has to be fixed asap.Wondered what people on here thought.

    How rough is the pub - are the plastic clips likely to be weakened by a fire and the punters still standing about in the beer garden laughing and adding an occasional seat to the blaze?


    Even if this happened would the cable fall and do anything more than lie on the ground looking sad ?

    - If it can  droop across a path or door or gateway then yes probably  it needs extra clipping, but if it just slides down a solid wall that no-one can walk through anyway, well so what ?


    plastic cleats on their own are not an issue, only if there is a credible entranglement risk if they fail.
