2. Hose Safety
– High Pressure Hazards
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the hose develops a
leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear, damage or misuse, the high
pressure spray emitted from it can cause material to splash in the eyes or on the
skin. Tighten all fluid connections securely before each use. High pressure fluid
can dislodge a loose coupling or allow high pressure spray to be emitted from the
coupling.
Never use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the entire hose for cuts,
leaks, abrasion or damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
Do not try to re-couple high pressure hose or mend it with tape or any other
device. A repaired hose cannot safely contain the high pressure fluid.
Handle and route hoses carefully, do not pull on hoses to move equipment. Do
not use materials which are not chemically compatible with the hose.
