FLUID POWER SAFETY INSTITUTE™ - Engineering Safety Bulletins

Safety MUST be the nucleus of fluid power system design and engineering. Engineers and designers can use the FPSI™ as a resource for: "safe-design" ideas; help in identifying common design "oversights"; designing "user-friendly" fluid power systems from an operations and maintenance point-of-view; safety products offered by the fluid power industry; effective lockout systems; etc.

Ref. No.	Description of Engineering Safety Bulletins

ESB-008	Once again there is controversy about hydraulic systems safety.

ESB-007	Excellent advisory about preventing worker deaths from uncontrolled release of electrical, mechanical, and other types of hazardous energy.

ESB-006	SAE Code 61, SAE Code 62, and Caterpillar® 4-bolt flange confusion - There are many people who think that on-the-job training for hydraulics is adequate. Here is a prime example why it simply does not work. In fact, it can leave innocent people vulnerable to severe injury or death.

ESB-005	Accumulator Safety - ball valves and "sound" don't cut the mustard!

ESB-004	Product Safety Alert - Pressure Relief Valves.

ESB-003	Recommended hydraulic system design improvement.

ESB-002	The FPSI™ wants to propose an engineering safety "standard".

ESB-001	Fluid power system schematics.
