8.8. Blast and Air Hose Couplings: All air hose couplings have pin holes that align when connected.
To protect against accidental hose disconnections safety pins must be installed through these holes.
Each hose connection must also include a hose whip check that will hold the hose if there is an
accidental disconnection. Connect one loop to each side of the connection and stretch out as shown
in Figure 8.2 below. Check hose connections daily and replace missing or damaged pins and whip
checks.
Failure to install safety pins and whip checks on all hose couplings could result in serious injury or
death.

8.9 Blast and Air Hose Gaskets: All air hose, blast hose, and threaded couplings have gaskets that seal
the connection. To reduce loss of air pressure and/or premature abrasive wear replace these gaskets
when leaks are found. Inspect the couplings daily for leaks and wear. Replace gaskets when visible
wear or leaks are found. To ensure proper coupling connection always use fittings that are the same
brand. See the drawings and part lists in Section 9.0.
8.10. Personal Protective Equipment: Check daily to verify that all personal protective equipment is
available for each blast operator. Check daily to verify that all personal protective equipment is in
good operating condition. Consult the operating and maintenance instructions provided by the
manufacturer of each PPE item. See Section 3.10 and reference OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I.
Failure to use personal protective equipment could result in serious injury or death.
8.11. Warning Decals: Check monthly to verify that all the warning decals are in position and legible.
See Section 0.0 for full descriptions and locations.
Failure to maintain warning decals risks the possibility of not alerting the AirPrep System operator
to potential dangers which can result in serious injury or death. See Section 0.0.
8.12. Handway Assembly (ADS Systems only, except portable models): Refer to Section 6.3 for
installation and inspection procedures.
