Toronto, Ontario -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/01/2010 -- Did you know that by not following proper hydraulic safety methods, 25% of Canadian occupations are subject to hydraulic fatalities and severe injuries? The construction, manufacturing, mining, marine, agriculture, forestry, and aviation industries have long fought the difficult battle of ensuring safety among workers.

Most hydraulic fatalities and injuries are the result of practicing poor specific hydraulic procedures and ill-trained hydraulic maintenance personnel. For this reason, businesses and companies who have hydraulic systems are hiring specialized instructors to teach safety practices and safe operational procedures. However, many hydraulic fatalities and injuries are attributed to employees who are not properly trained to operate such machinery.

For example, a 16-year-old victim died after the victim’s head was crushed while retrieving an item from a loader. In another incident, a 26-year-old male was shocked to death by an overhanging hydraulic power line while unloading a truck. In another unrelated incident, a hydraulic maintenance personnel worker was crushed to death while servicing a forklift.

These accidents are preventable if the employer would have arranged for an outside agency to assist them in training employees on hydraulic safety. When companies have a high number of hydraulic system accidents, many turn to businesses that specialize in training others on specific hydraulic procedures. It is important that Canadian occupations offer training on hydraulic safety and operations for their employees.

The Hydraulic Safety Authority of Canada is one of these businesses that offer safety awareness training specific to hydraulic systems and components.
