NAHAD Hose Safety Certification
What it is?
- The Hose Safety Institute (HSI) is a program by NAHAD, created through the collaboration of distributors and manufacturers. This initiative spanned multiple years and aimed to develop thorough performance recommendations for the specification, design, and fabrication of various hose assemblies, including composite, corrugated metal, fluoropolymer, hydraulic, and industrial hoses. The result of this effort was the publication of the HSI Handbook for the Design and Specification of Hose Assemblies, which sets out best practices and guidelines that often exceed the standard hose certification requirements for specific applications. Due to their extensive work, NAHAD and HSI have established themselves as the leading authority for addressing, discussing, and resolving industry-related questions.
Why NAHAD Hose Certification is important?
- Members of NAHAD’s Hose Safety Institute© represent distributors, manufacturers and suppliers who share a passion for the industry. They support and promote hose assembly safety, quality and reliability through education, research, and collaboration through end-user forums. As a result of their efforts, NAHAD and specifically HSI, have become the go-to organization when there is an industry question that needs to be discussed, vetted and/or resolved.
- HSI members agree to incorporate a series of prescribed best practices and industry-leading guidelines into their business culture. They follow strict design and fabrication standards. In doing so, they demonstrate to their clients that they care for the safety of their teams and value of their trust.
- HSI resources serve as the basis for educating all NAHAD members and end-users on top-tier hose assembly specification, design, fabrication, handling, and management.
Most importunately, the end-users of an HSI member benefit from the knowledge that the company they work with followed prescribed design and standards specifications to ensure their teams will be working with equipment that has been methodically and carefully assembled and tested.
NAHAD member organizations benefit from the educational content produced. This content, when coupled with hands-on training, helps develop an efficient, effective and competent workforce. The industry at large benefits when distributors, manufacturers and suppliers agree on a solution and best-practice that sets a high standard for safety.
