Electrical cable in roof space and storage in the roof

Hi All,
I'd like to use the roof space in my garage to store some things, in particular some timber floor boards and a few large plastic containers that I store things in and my esky!

When I look into the roof space I can see that the electrical cabling is strung across the roof touching the top side of the ceiling and going over the timber struts. It is not fixed to the timber etc.

I was going to use some of the timber floor boards to make some slats, screw them in and store the timber on that.

I was wondering what problems I may face if the electrical cables end up toching the stored wood loosley in places. Would this be a hazard? The electrical cabel is new, some only 12months old. I can't see it exposed anywhere when I have a quick visual inspection.

Thanks

Seth
