OSHA Safety Standards Regulation 29CFR CHXVII Paragraph 1926.302(b)(7) states: All hoses exceeding 1/2 inch inside diameter must have a safety device at the supply source or branch to reduce pressure in the hose. case of hose failure.
Prevent accidents and dangerous blows with the air hose. Protect your most important assets: your employees and your equipment.
OSHA COMPRESSED AIR SAFETY SHUTOFF VALVES offer simple yet efficient protection to pneumatic systems in the event of a compressed air hose or line rupture.
Safety is what it’s all about for you, your business and your employees. Don’t let a “lost” safety valve cause accidents. Make sure all air hoses 1/2 inch and larger in diameter have the OSHA required safety shutoff valve.

Another OSHA guideline publication states: “Hoses, cables, and other equipment should be kept away from walkways, stairways, and stairways.”
OSHA says to reduce your slips, trips and falls.
Slips, trips and falls make up the majority of general industry accidents, causing 15% of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of death.
OSHA’s standard for walking-working surfaces applies to all permanent workplaces, except where only domestic, mining, or agricultural work is performed. (from OSHA.gov)
Consider adding reels to increase safety and efficiency with your electrical cables, welding cables, air, oil, grease, fluid/water, or fuel hoses. This could be one of the most effective gear additions you’ll ever make…as well as one of the safest!
The reels are suitable for many applications. – such as industrial, automotive, marine, chemical, welding, petroleum, food processing, aviation, and electrical.
Reels are used to transfer air, water, motor oil, transmission fluid, grease, gear oil, antifreeze, diesel fuels, welding fumes, fuel oil, liquid pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, hydraulic oils, cutting oils, printing inks, solvents. , chemicals and asphalt sealers.
Probably one of the biggest uses for hose reels is for compressed air. Compressed air is clean, readily available, and easy to use. As a result, compressed air is often chosen for applications where other energy sources are cheaper.
Improper uses of compressed air include any application that can be performed more effectively or more efficiently by a method other than compressed air.
Don’t WASTE your Compressed Air. Check your facilities for wasteful and perhaps even unsafe uses of compressed air.
Bottom line: Invest in quality, durable materials that make hoses, cords and cables more productive, keep them easily accessible and last longer.
