Program Overview
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure is one of the most hazardous substances in an industrial environment. A pinhole leak in hydraulic Hydraulic systems power some of the most critical equipment in construction, manufacturing, mining, and aerospace - from excavators and hydraulic presses to jacks, lifts, and steering systems. Despite their power and utility, hydraulic systems can fail violently when poorly maintained or misused, resulting in injection injuries, crush incidents, and catastrophic equipment failures. ICLM's Hydraulic Equipment Safety Training equips workers and technicians with the knowledge to safely operate, inspect, and maintain hydraulic systems.
line can inject fluid into the human body at pressure exceeding 5,000 psi - causing severe tissue damage that may appear deceptively minor on the surface but can lead to gangrene and amputation if not treated immediately. Hydraulic system failures can also cause sudden and uncontrolled movement of heavy equipment components.
