M.6.2 Where equipment is operated by air or water, consideration should be given to supporting or guarding the hoses and ancillary equipment, where appropriate, to ensure that they will not be damaged or come uncoupled through carrying their own weight and thus become a hazard for the rope access technician and his/her equipment. Hose connections to the tools should be checked before use and provision should be made so that the air/water supply can be turned off in an emergency. Only certified hoses and fittings should be used. Hose whip checks or hose coupling safety locks or both should be fitted to the hoses. Hoses should be firmly secured close to the operator. Hoses should be fully uncoiled when in use.
