1. What are the safety precautions for hydraulics?
Hydraulic systems operate under extreme pressure and require safety precautions to prevent injuries and equipment failures. Thus, always inspect hoses, fittings, and components for leaks. Remember to depressurize the system before maintenance. Use only the hydraulic fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Follow proper lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and keep the work area clean and free of oil spills.

2. What PPE is needed for hydraulics?
Working with hydraulics requires proper personal protective equipment to stay safe. Safety goggles or face shields protect your eyes from fluid sprays. Wear heavy-duty nitrile or chemical-resistant gloves to avoid direct contact with hydraulic fluids. Steel-toe boots can protect your feet from falling tools or components. In noisy areas, use hearing protection to guard against loud hydraulic equipment sounds.

3. Why is working with hydraulics a risk?
Hydraulic systems are hazardous due to the pressure they operate under and the nature of the equipment. Sudden, unexpected movement of components can lead to crush accidents. Hot hydraulic fluid can cause serious burns, while leaks on the floor create slip hazards. If components are poorly maintained or fail, the system can break down suddenly, which can put both people and machinery at risk.
