It is a basic requirement under Health & Safety Law that employers ensure that employees are adequately trained in the safe use of all equipment. Do you know the possible hazards of your power washers?
At 1000psi the water jet can reach a speed of 110mph and at 4000psi it travels at 440 mph (half the speed of a bullet). As water is incompressible, water travelling out of the lance at these speeds may carry a risk of serious injury. Hydro Project Engineering provides on-site training for operators. All candidates attending its courses and passing the required standards receive Water Jetting Association certification and photo cards accredited by City & Guilds.
According to the company it is vital to ensure that operators receive the appropriate information and training required. No task is too small or too large to disregard correct training, be it 1000psi or 40,000psi. Hydro Project Engineering says it can provide operators with the information and skills required to reduce the risk of accidents in the work place.
