How much can an unsafe hose cost you?
Costs associated with fire, explosions, shock, mechanical failure and injury from catastrophic failure of hose systems can be astronomical. In addition, the proper coupling of both high and low pressure components is an important safety measure.
Research has identified indirect costs of injury, management time, HR time, litigation and reduced productivity can be four times that of direct costs. The growing importance of safety, downtime, and reduction of maintenance costs now requires more disciplined hose management services.
