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
➢ 4. High visibility Vest/Jacket. Vehicle Wash & Pressure Wash
➢ Safety Hat
Review Dates:
