Staying dry while pressure washing can be a difficult task, especially when washing over the head or in a windy day. Pressure washers are powerful equipment that can cause serious injuries, not only from splashes of high-pressure water jets and cleaning chemicals, but also from flying dirt. Working in older buildings can lead to unexpected safety issues, such as mold, dust and other particles that can be expelled into the air during pressure washing.Personal protective equipment suitable for high-pressure applications typically includes, at a minimum, chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, eye and face protection, and respiratory protection. Anyone who works with a high-pressure water injection system or who works in its vicinity must wear appropriate protective clothing that is commensurate with the risk involved in injection operation. For information on PPE for two-component low-pressure SPF applications, see the Air Conditioning section of the website. Never take PPE for granted and never lose sight of the fact that pressure washing and water injection equipment are powerful enough to cause serious injuries that can result in eye loss, amputation, or even death.
All Cleaner Times readers are linked in some way to the pressure washing or water jet cleaning industry, whether as manufacturers, distributors, suppliers or contractors. For more information, consult the safety instructions for your DYNAJET pressure washer and local accident prevention regulations. Working with high-pressure washing equipment and systems involves a variety of hazards, such as contact with a high-pressure water jet, the use of uncontrolled hoses, and exposure to heat, chemicals, cold, and noise. Some items, such as bottled eyewash, personal washing units, such as single-head hoses, or similar complementary equipment, may not meet OSHA requirements or meet the 15-minute watering period established in the ANSI standard.
