- For pressure testing vessels or pipelines, unless specifically approved by a company Representative(s) and the Safety Department.
- When any soft line air hoses are in use at pressures over 15 psig, use a securing system over the hose connections.
- To ensure that whip-check securing systems are used correctly and are properly fitted, follow manufacturer specifications. Homemade and/or uncertified securing systems should not be acceptable.
