Chapter 2, Safety: Safe Operating Guidelines
Wachs Subsea 06-150-520-MAN 7
Hydraulic Powered Equipment
• Hydraulic components such as hoses, motors, and mani-
folds will get hot during operation and may cause burns.
Do not touch hydraulic components, except for operator
controls, during or after operating the machine.
Injection of hydraulic fluid
through the skin is a serious
injury that can result in infec-
tion, tissue damage, and pos-
sible loss of limb. Seek
medical treatment immedi-
ately. First aid is not sufficient
treatment for injection injury.
• Hydraulic injection injury—A pinhole in a hydraulic hose
or fitting can eject fluid with enough force to pierce
skin. Check hoses and fittings regularly for leaks. Do
not use bare hands to check for leaks while the sys-
tem is pressurized. If you suspect a leak, move a piece
of paper or cardboard at least 6 inches (15 cm) over the
suspicious area and watch for fluid spraying on the sur-
face.
Loss or Shut-Off of Power Supply
• If the power source to the equipment is lost, disconnect
power from the equipment and lock out the power sup-
ply immediately to prevent accidental restarting of the
machine.
• For all power sources, follow all lock-out/tag-out proce-
dures required at the worksite when disconnecting or
servicing the equipment.
