Ensure that there is a safe area to work while operating
the CaviBlaster
®
2040-D.
Seek immediate medical attention if the operator suffers
an injury as the result of contact with the high-pressure
water stream.
Serious personal injury can result from
an untreated water injection wound.
3.2 Personal Protective Equipment
Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when operating
this equipment.
Personnel operating or working in the vicinity of the power unit should wear
appropriate hearing protection when the CaviBlaster
®
system is in use. If the
diver is not wearing a diving helmet, hearing protection is recommended.
CaviDyne
TM
suggest wearing vented earplugs,
such as “Doc’s Proplugs” or
equivalent, for diver hearing protection.
The operators of the CaviBlaster
®
system should always wear neoprene or
heavy rubber gloves to provide protection to the hands and, in particular, to the
nails. The gloves will absorb most of the energy produced by bursting cavitation
bubbles and prevent the cavitation bubbles
from contacting the operators’ hands.
The gloves will also protect operators’ hands from the initial shockwave when the
gun is activated.
Failure to wear appropriate PPE may result in serious
personal injury.
