    Pressure Wash Safety:



         When using a pressure washer, always follow the safety instructions:



         The strong spray from a pressure washer can cause serious wounds that might

         first appear minor. Wounds that appear minor can cause a person to delay
         treatment, increasing risk for infection or disability.




         The fast, strong spray can throw objects that strike and injure others who are
         close by.



         Precautions


         ➢ Never point a pressure washer at yourself or others.
         ➢ Never attempt to push or move objects with spray from the washer.

         ➢ Wear your PPE when using the pressure washer. This includes:



                 ➢ 1. Safety Glasses.

                 ➢ 2. Safety Gloves.

                 ➢ 3. Safety Boots.                                                                                                                                            RASSoW14Q
