Filter Components

step.

When working with hydraulic components, hydraulic fluid can spill and
collect on floors or work platforms.

Floors or work platforms with spilled hydraulic fluid are very slippery. Injury
or death can result from personnel falling on slippery surfaces.

Do not allow personnel to stand on or walk through hydraulic fluid. Place warning
signs around the spill area to alert personnel of the hazard. Clean and dry the spill
promptly.
