drum must be protected immediately with a sealing cap.

All cable reels should be stored in such a manner allowing easy access for lifting and moving,
away from construction activities, falling or lying objects, sources of high heat, open flames,
chemicals of petroleum products, etc. that may come in contact with the cable and cause
damage. The use of fencing or other barriers to protect cables and reels against damage by
vehicles or other equipment moving about the storage area is highly recommended.
