| Hydraulics is a means of transmitting power by the use of confined fluids. Hydraulics is part of the fluid power family that deal with the mechanical properties of fluids used to multiply force and modify motion. The use of hydraulics range throughout all industries and can be seen in construction, manufacturing, mining, marine, agriculture, forestry, and aviation. Without safety based knowledge of hydraulics, the nature of volume under pressure can be potentially dangerous. |

| Hydraulics and electricity are both forms of transmitting energy and most often hydraulics are described as being comparable to electricity. Hydraulics, much like electricity, should be respected, however the safety standards greatly differ. People are exposed to both hydraulic and electrical conduits, however in comparison, electricity is less likely to burst out of an electrical conduit and potentially cause injuries such as burns, fluid injections, physical impact, loss of supporting loads, potential fatalities and environmental damage. |

| The Hydraulic Safety Authority of Canada Inc. will provide the most effective proactive health & safety programs specific to hydraulic systems and components. These programs will provide a guideline for companies to follow as they show the necessary due dilligence required for providing a safe work environment, and improve their existing health & safety systems. Our goal is our commitment to those who have the right to know about the hazards related to their occupation and to improve efficiency in the operation of related equipment. |
