Product Spotlight – Parker Hose Safety Equipment

Hose whip restraints act as safety restraining systems for pressure hoses, designed to prevent whipping from a pressurized hose in the event that the hose separated from its fitting. This safety system prevents damage to surrounding equipment as well as injury to operators near the freed hose. In a high-pressure system, whipping injuries can be incredibly serious. Whip restraints prevent that risk.

Those who regularly work with hydraulic hoses know that two big areas of risk are eyes and hands. If you’re regularly cutting/crimping your own hose assemblies on-site (or even just working with replacing/assembling hydraulic lines), it’s important to protect yourself with safety gloves and glasses. The gloves prevent potential heat transfer while protecting your hands from abrasive media. The glasses prevent eye injuries from ruptured lines or cutting reels.

As mandated by OSHA, if your facility or vehicle is working with hazardous materials (such as some types of hydraulic fluids), you must also be prepared for spill containment and removal. No matter how the spill happened, you need to have a reliable and safe means of cleaning the affected area. Spill kits help you plan for a quick spill response, protecting workers and machine operators through reliable safety protocols.

Hose guards and hose sleeves from Parker are able to significantly reduce (and in some cases eliminate entirely) damage caused by extreme heat and water abrasion. They provide workers protection from slippage, spillage, or hose movement, making the jobsite significantly more safe. From high-temperature sleeves (Firesleeve) to heated hose sleeves to prevent freezing, hose guards can significantly protect your people.
