Safety Task Assessment & Risk Reduction Talk

Topic of the day: whiparrestor Safety

Edit

When a pressurized air hose becomes accidentally uncoupled or a hose or fitting failure occurs, the rapid expansion of air causes the hose to whip violently creating a potentially lethal situation. Use Whip arrestor to help prevent injuries or accidents resulting from hose or coupling failure. A Whip arrestor extends across the hose fittings to give standby safety for hose. Simply pull back the spring and slip the loops on the Whip arrestor over each hose before connection to provide These whip checks Prevent hoses from whipping if couplings are accidentally disconnected. whip checks are made from steel cable ( stainless option) and meet OSHA and MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) safety standards. Maximum working pressure is 200 psi. Hose-to-hose whip checks have spring-loaded loop ends that sucure over the hose ends for a firm grip. Hose to tool whip checks have a spring load loop on one end and a choker on the other. Whip arrestor air hose restraints are slipped over the hose on each side of the fitting and prevent hose whip in the event of fitting separation or failure. Spring loaded loops on each end are easily opened to pass over the fitting and then provide a firm grip on the hose.
