HSI Best Practices
Case Studies
Case studies are created to illustrate situations where application of the Hose Assembly Guidelines has resulted in cost savings, or mitigation of risk for end users. In particular, they focus on situations where people have been injured, or even killed, when poor hose assembly practices have been followed, where risk of law suits can be high, or where reworking of assemblies has been required, adding extensive – and avoidable - cost to the end user. The Guidelines are intended to help support the building of long lasting customer relationships and trust.
Again, safety, quality, and reliability of hose assemblies are the focus.
