Product Overview

This SWMS covers hydraulic hose crimper set-up, hose preparation, crimping, pressure testing, component replacement and clean-up. It supports planning the work and managing hazards from crush points, stored hydraulic pressure, fluid release, sharp wire reinforcement and electrical equipment.

Activities & Specific Tasks Covered

This document includes task-specific risk controls for:

  • Review the job, work area and hose requirements
  • Position the crimper and inspect plant, guards, gauges and electrical equipment
  • Set up fluid containment and isolate or release energy
  • Adjust pumps and fluid systems as required
  • Measure, cut and prepare hose and fittings
  • Crimp hydraulic hose assemblies and inspect their identification
  • Conduct pressure testing while managing hose and fitting failure risks
  • Replace seals and components while controlling stored pressure
  • Clean up fluid residue, manage waste and sign off

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out hydraulic hose crimping activities.
