Pressure Wash Safety:

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

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.

 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.
