PNEUMATIC SAFETY
If you consider the basic flow of air safety circuit
Risk assessment can be used to determine what minimum level of safety products must be used for a specific application, and weighs the degree of harm (injury, damage to property, or harm to the environment) that may result from an accident and then prompts steps to be taken to determine if it is feasible to reduce these risks to a tolerable level. In order to perform a true risk assessment, additional knowledge or new input is more than likely required. Do not be afraid to involve knowledgeable persons to help your assessment team detect these hazards. Here are a few potential areas of concern for safety and risk reduction in fluid power. Hopefully this discussion has provided insight for a deeper examination of fluid powered machinery, how it functions, and, most importantly, how it can fail. ROSS offers an expanded technical reference.
