HYDRAULIC RAIL BENDER
7.12 Dangers from Hydraulic Power
Work on the hydraulic part of the appliance may only be performed by personnel
who are specially qualified to do so. The appliance’s hydraulic equipment must be
checked regularly and any faults found must be addressed immediately, e.g. leaks,
damage to the exterior etc. Any section of the hydraulic system that is to be worked
on must first be depressurised. Pneumatic components (hoses, screwed-joints,
valves etc.) must only be swapped for items with identical specifications
(compressive strength, temperature-resistance etc).
Pressure in conduits should be checked in case directional control valves, stop-
valves etc prevent supply to the cylinder and pressure remains locked in that
section.
Dangers from hydraulic power can be avoided by:
•
Switching off the engine
•
Opening the return valve, thus neutralizing hydraulic pressure when using the hand-pump
7.13 Dangers from Heat
Before working on hot parts, the appliance must be allowed to cool for at least 30
minutes.
7.14 Other Dangers
– Safety Equipment
•
Fingers and hands may be burnt by hot parts;
•
Injuries, especially to eyes, may occur from hoses becoming disconnected or
oil spraying from any of the hydraulic conduits.
•
Long-term damage, especially to hearing, may occur if operators are not
routinely protected from noise;
•
Scalding may occur from oils, grease and other hot materials if the operator
cannot understand and follow notices and regulations on their packaging.
The operator is obliged to ensure that safety devices provided are actually being
used or left in their appointed place in the work-place. The operator must wear
appropriate clothing: no wide sleeves or other parts that could easily be caught in
the appliance.
The person responsible for maintenance work should, after carrying out the work,
re-apply safety devices. It is essential that basic training include attendance at the
manufacturer’s training session.
Operators using the appliance must have read and understood the instructions above.
The instructions must be available to users at all times.
In particular, the operator must contribute to the safety of the appliance through
maintenance being conducted regularly and in accordance with these instructions.
