Why BAND-IT JS Clamps Are the OSHA-Compliant Solution for Compressed Air Hose Safety
October 29.2020 | Essential Applications
Compressed air is essential in countless industrial, manufacturing, and construction environments—but when hoses are improperly secured, the results can be dangerous and non-compliant. One of the most frequent OSHA violations during jobsite inspections is the use of worm gear clamps on compressed air hoses. These clamps are not pressure-rated for typical “shop air” systems and often feature exposed clamp tails that pose serious cut hazards to workers.
OSHA Standards Are Clear
According to OSHA General Industry Standard 1910.243(b)(2):
“Hose and hose connections used for conducting compressed air to utilization equipment shall be designed for the pressure and service to which they are subjected.”
Worm gear clamps fail this test. BAND-IT JS Clamps, on the other hand, are engineered to meet it—providing a pressure-rated, tail-free, and field-proven solution.
