Compressed air and water leaks poster
Compressed air is one of the most expensive forms of energy in a plant, and leaks waste it around the clock, as do running taps and hoses. This poster shows where air and water leaks usually hide and a five-step routine to deal with them: listen and look, tag, log, fix and re-check. It also carries a safety warning: never feel for an air leak with your hand.
