Hydraulic Hoses and the Danger of Leaks

by Doug Carter, from the Community

10+

This safety meeting template addresses the hazards of hydraulic hose leaks, including slip and fall risks, fire, environmental contamination, burns, and high‑pressure injection injuries. It outlines prevention through correct hose length and diameter, proper routing and support, replacing missing chafing guards, and addressing damaged outer jackets to prevent corrosion. It covers safe leak detection using cardboard or wood, bleeding pressure before testing tightness, and proper assembly: clean ends, new lubricated seals, correct torque, and compatible fittings. Use this guide to report, fix, and prevent leaks safely.

Jetter Hose Inspection Checklist
Use this jetter hose inspection checklist to keep wastewater and sewer jetting operations safe and efficient. Verify hose protection with leader hoses, top rollers or tiger tails, confirm pressure gauges function, and ensure operators know rated working pressure and proper marking methods. Check availability of swaging tools, correct color‑coded dies and menders, and proper storage. Inspect the abrasion‑resistant outer coating for damage, confirm fittings are correctly swaged, and check male and female threads for secure connections. Capture photos during the inspection and repair or remove any defective hoses immediately to prevent operator injury.

Hose Audit Checklist
This Hose Audit checklist helps teams systematically inspect industrial hoses for safety and reliability. Capture hose identification details, labeling, pressure ratings, and inspection dates. Document hose type, application, chemical medium, temperature ranges, maximum service pressure, and environmental conditions. Assess hose condition for damage, abrasion, bulges, or delamination, and verify end fitting integrity, threads, corrosion, and accessories. Confirm whip checks are fitted and in good condition. Use this template to strengthen preventive maintenance, reduce risk, and support regulatory compliance across manufacturing and industrial sites.

High Pressure Energy Release Checklist
Use this fatal risk critical control checklist to prevent uncontrolled high pressure energy release from pressure vessels and systems in mining. It guides teams through identifying energy sources, isolating and de-energizing equipment, verifying isolation points, checking gauges and fittings, inspecting for leaks, tagging stored energy, and managing transport. The template also covers high pressure injection response steps, first aid and escalation, and documentation including isolation confirmation certificates. Apply it to hydraulic, pneumatic, nitrogen, water and other pressurized systems to protect workers and ensure compliance with standards.
