Hydraulic Safety CoursesOn-Line Fluid Power Safety Training Courses OverviewThe AFPS in conjunction with the International Hydraulic Safety Authority are promoting occupational health and safety courses specifically design for people engaged in the fluid power industry and or companies that uses fluid power in their manufacturing or industrial processes. Fluid power and electricity are both forms of transmitting energy and most often hydraulics are described as being comparable to electricity. Hydraulics, much like electricity, should be respected; however the safety standards greatly differ. People are exposed to both hydraulic and electrical conduits, however in comparison, electricity is less likely to burst out of an electrical conduit and potentially cause injuries such as burns, fluid injections, physical impact, loss of supporting loads, potential fatalities and environmental damage. Hydraulic operated equipment is used in all industry sectors and most personnel are unaware of the associated hazards. Related injuries include soft tissue injury or crushing, fractures, dislocations, lacerations or skin punctures, amputation, burns and fluid injection. Not only has injury and death occurred, hydraulics have caused environmental damage and property/equipment loss. Universally Compatible CoursesAll these courses are created using standards that will allow playback on most internet capable devices with standard web browsing capabilities including Apple’s iTouch, iPad, and iPhone, as well as most other smart phones and tablets including those with Android and Windows operating systems. Course Information: For more information and costs associated with each course contact the AFPS Executive Officer: exo@fluidpowersociety.com.au Investment In SafetyInvesting time in safety training is a vital part in capturing long-term success. Knowledge not only supports safe practices but increase worker productivity and reduces the likelihood that you’ll have to pay work accident claims including hefty fines. Personnel recognize they are valued when they’re safety is part of the investment taken to grow successfully. The ripple effect caused by an incident slows down and in many cases halts production and lowers confidence of the entire organization. Less output reduces a business’s potential to bring in revenue. Investing financially in safety training saves money.
