AUTOMATIC HOSE REEL SAFETY
–
If the hose should break, the fluid in it may cause uncontrolled movements, and thus injury.
–
Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the hose reel.
–
Firmly fix the revolving metal bracket of the hose reel to a wall or a stable structure, making sure that it can support the load.
–
Periodically check that the bracket is intact and properly secured to the wall or the supporting structure.
–
Maintain a firm grip on the hose while winding it. It is important to be prepared for unexpected movements of the hose while
winding it.
–
While winding the hose, make sure that it does not cause hazards or damage to people or things.
–
In case of air supply failure or low operating temperature, check the operating pressure before reusing the hose reel.
Dust and fumes hazards: if the hose reel is used in particular situations due to the presence of potentially harmful particles or
fumes, protective equipment for the upper respiratory tract must be used. An appropriate environmental hygiene survey is required
to determine the type and degree of protection of the personal protective equipment to use.
Using the hose reel with certain accessories may generate noise, which may prove harmful to the exposed personnel. A proper
phonometric survey is required to determine the personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
–
Pull the hose steadily, using the right amount of force, avoiding overloading and tugging the hose.
