Hydraflow’s Solar Project
By: Monica Harrop
Phase 2 of our renewable energy initiative is nearing its completion.
After our application is approved by Southern California Edison, power
will be turned on and we will be fully operational in about 30 days. This
phase has included the installation of solar panels on our roof and covered
parking areas, as well as a bank of Tesla batteries on the west side of the
facility. It will conclude with a low maintenance makeover, complete with
rock landscaping and shaded picnic tables, just in time for summer. These
additions will aid Hydraflow in our commitment to energy efficiency,
water conservation and the reduction of our carbon footprint.
PLUS: Important news and dates
Here’s how it works- Electricity generation relies on water much more
to remember!
heavily than most of us realize. Water is used to pump crude oil out of
the ground, remove pollutants from power plant exhaust, flush residue
after fossil fuels are burned, cool power plants, and the list goes on and on. Electricity generation also exudes
copious amounts of carbon dioxide, which accounts for more than a third of America’s emissions of global
warming pollutants. Solar energy, however, uses solar panels to convert the sun’s energy into electricity, which
is then stored in the batteries for later use. Therefore, unlike other methods of electricity generation, solar
energy is generated without the use of water and with exponentially less carbon dioxide emissions.
Hydraflow is committed to fostering positive environmental impacts and we encourage our employees to do
same. Remember to do your part to conserve water and preserve our environment. If you have any ideas for
improvement, do not hesitate to share them.

Eye Safety
By: SeaBright Insurance Resources
Are you willing to risk losing your ability to see? Thousands of people take that chance every day by not
wearing needed eye protection. In fact 3 out of 5 workers who have experienced an eye injury were not
wearing their protection.
A survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that nearly 70% of injuries were the result of flying
objects or falling objects. Most of the material striking the eye was reportedly moving at speeds faster than
something being thrown by hand.
What can you do so you are not added to these statistics? Easy…
• WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION. It is estimated that 90% of eye injuries can be prevented through
the use of proper protective eyewear. Manufacturers of eye and face protection have greatly improved their
products to help encourage more willing and more consistent use. In the past workers in the field would not
wear the protection because of the equipment’s lack of comfort, durability, or out-dated styling. Considerable
advancements have now been made in the design of this protection to improve the comfort, durability and
fashion.
• MAKE SURE THE EYE PROTECTION IS RIGHT FOR THE HAZARD and that it fits correctly. Also
know when to wear goggles and/or a face shield especially when doing high hazard work such as grinding,
chipping or working with corrosive compounds.
According to the University of Washington Ophthalmologists, Inc., most eye injuries are rated either mild or
severe, with few being in between. Mild cases usually require only simple outpatient care such as irrigating
and antibiotic treatment. Severe cases may require multiple

surgeries and in most cases the eye sight will not be as it was
before the accident, if the vision can be saved at all.

Protecting your eyesight should be one of your most
paramount concerns whether you are on the job or not. It is
your responsibility to wear the eye protection. Without your
commitment, you put yourself at risk of losing your eyesight.
Often people will think nothing of spending a hundred dollars
or more for a pair of name brand fashion sunglasses. Some of
the best safety glasses cost less than $10. Fashion eyewear looks
great and protects your eyes from the sun. But they are typically
not safety- rated, and are not designed to protect your eyes from
objects impacting the lenses.
REMEMBER! THERE ARE NO GOOD EXCUSES FOR NOT
PROTECTING YOUR EYESIGHT.
