Safety Precautions to Take When Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is a great way to clean surfaces quickly and efficiently, but it can also be dangerous if not done properly. To ensure your safety and that of those around you, it is important to take the necessary precautions when using a pressure washer. First and foremost, never point a pressure washer at yourself or anyone else. The high-pressure spray can cause serious injury or even death.

Additionally, never try to push or move objects with the washing machine spray. This can cause the object to move in an unexpected direction and cause injury. When using a pressure washer, always test the circuit breaker with a ground fault (circuit breaker or electrical outlet) before turning it on. Never use a gasoline washer in an enclosed space as this can be extremely hazardous. If you are working at height when pressure washing, it is important to use an extension rod to keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

This will help to avoid any potential falls. When using your pressure washer, it is important to use it responsibly. Even though the PSI may not be as high as a grease or paint gun, it is still sufficient enough to cause serious damage. Before starting pressure washing, always start with the white tip stuck and start spraying a test surface keeping the spray a few feet from the surface. This will help to avoid any potential damage to the surface. My supervisor at work plans to pressure wash the building because there is a lot of dust and dirt in all areas of the building.
