What should you do if you notice a frayed power cord?

Choosing to remove a frayed power cord from service and replace it is the most appropriate action because frayed cords pose a significant safety hazard. A frayed cord can lead to electrical shock, short circuits, and even fire risks. By removing it from use, you help prevent potential injuries to yourself and others, as well as maintaining compliance with safety regulations and standards.

Replacing the cord ensures that the electrical equipment remains safe and functional. While the option of wrapping it with tape might seem like a quick fix, it does not address the underlying issue and could further exacerbate the risk. Reporting the situation to a supervisor is also important but should follow the immediate action of removal from service to prevent any accidents in the interim.
