Air Manifold Tank Safety Measures

By David Rogers


Being the owner of an establishment, you always inspect the proper functioning of your business equipment. You must assign your staff to double check it as well in case of any leakage. One of the most dangerous possibilities of leakage is the release of harmful air pressure. That is why we have to talk about air manifold tank safety measures.

If you are responsible for the everyday cleanliness of your living premises, then you must be pretty familiar about its speedy techniques. However, in every discovered technique, there will always be possible drawbacks. You might have heard about people using compressed air for cleaning dirty table surfaces especially in office establishments where janitors and housekeeping staffs can no longer accommodate all desks.

Damages can be caused by careless or erroneous pressing of the control buttons. It might be fine when these devices are just like your ordinary ones. However, when we are talking about manifold tanks, this is a different case. Just like the danger it will cause when leaving your LPG tanks open, this would also result to the same hazardous consequences as that of your house hold LPG.

If you have housekeepers doing the hard work for you, informing them about its risk would surely save their lives. Some people use compressed air to clean their shelves, furniture, appliances, tables, countertops, and other house hold things. This is to avoid wasting time in manual cleaning habits like using feather dusters, disinfectant wipes, and other materials.

Compressed current is very hazardous to human health most especially when filters are not constantly cleaned. Aside from the strong pressure it releases that could cause injury, the debris that it absorbs may clog up the system or even contribute to the ripping of its tube. As a result, malfunctioning would occur and as holes become worn off compressed air will be exposed to the atmosphere.

People, especially hygiene personnel keep on passing by and as a result, they would constantly step over the hoses. Once these hoses are already worn off, it will be ripped off and cause the pressurized air to come out. The one who is using it is responsible for any injury that the equipment has caused. To avoid this, the wire have to be properly hung on walls or anywhere as long it is not exposed too much on passage areas.

When opening the tank, one must make us of gloves, face shields, goggles and other skin protecting devices. Safety measures would be properly disseminated among your personal so that they will keep themselves safe. Static electrical energy could be passed through pneumatic materials. Manifold tanks are required to be bonded if flammable and explosive materials are near it.

If you do not use goggles and face masks, it could enter your eyes and nose and would cause minor to major health complications. Sharp debris could scratch and wound your skin. It might sound mild as of now but imagine the speed of pressure used by the device. It would definitely scar your skin off if you forget to wear safety clothing.

If we are an owner of a building or office place, you need to remind your janitors to use these devices correctly and carefully. They might still not know about its danger. Therefore, provide them the safety equipment before they start working because their health is as important as your health.
