Screw/Worm Hose Clamps on pneumatic lines

Suggest you [politely but firmly] request that citation of OSHA from that member. Pretty sure that it does not exist. There MAY be a prohibition from using screw-clamp to hold hose onto a smooth tube, but there is not one for securing a hose onto a barbed connection.

BTW, take a look at PUSH-LOK fittings from Parker-Hannifin. First was forced to use some about 25-years ago; they "just didn't look right". but later I fell in love with them; they are quick, simple, solid and 'elegant'.

Yeah we asked for a voluntary OSHA inspector to come in and audit our facility the other day which is what brought this up.
I wasn't part of it but thats where this safety team member got it.
We should get the report from the OSHA inspector today.
I was just making up a hose the other day and was told I couldn't do it that way anymore.

This morning they said the inspector mentioned that the screw clamps could work its way loose and then the hose would become a "whipping device".
But I'm awaiting the report for true confirmation/citation.

I saw the PUSH-LOK fittings the other day too.. They do look pretty neat.. But I bet they are expensive as most of parkers stuff is.

The only other "violation" we got was they found a single spray bottle of lubricant that wasn't properly labeled.. oops.
