ABOUT RECOILA WHY USE HOSE REELS?
Hose management and minimising risk
HAZARD:
DO HOSES REGULARLY
LAY ACROSS PATHS AND
WORK AREAS?
HAZARD:
ARE HOSES HEAVY OR
AWKWARD TO MOVE?
HAZARD:
DO POORLY MANAGED HOW HOSES BECOME HAZARDS
OR POORLY MAINTAINED You’re no doubt aware that trips, falls and
HOSES CREATE WET, ergonomic injuries are common in even the
SLIPPERY WORK AREAS? most strictly regulated work environments.
Workplaces use hoses and cables for all
manner of applications, each one carrying
HAZARD: potential safety risks such as:
• Trips and falls due to stray hoses and
ARE HOSES BEING cables
DAMAGED DUE TO POOR • Ergonomic injury if heavy, awkward hoses
STORAGE, FOR EXAMPLE need to be moved
BEING RUN OVER BY • Leakage (& consequently wet areas)
FORKLIFTS OR VEHICLES? causing slip hazards.
HOSE LIFE CAN BE AFFECTED TOO
Hoses themselves when left on the floor
can be weakened by environmental
contaminants, cleaning chemicals, being
run over by work vehicles, or being bent or
coiled tighter than the hoses natural bend
radius, and will ultimately fail as the structure
of the hose is weakened.
