Safe Application guidelines
Hydro blasters can be operated safely if proper procedures are followed:
•
No one should operate this equipment without training and proper equipment. Please refer
to the training video and user manual that comes together with the machine for set up and
usage.
•
All personnel forming the operational team must have received prior familiarization and
training with regard to the equipment. This must include clear knowledge of the operational
capabilities of the equipment, as well as its limitations and precautions to be taken during
its use. Staff must be aware of the high level of danger associated with incorrect operation
of such equipment at high pressures. They must be familiar with the natural recoil of the
nozzle while under pressure, and the operator’s stance to be adopted to counteract this
recoil.
•
Personal protective equipment is essential, including a full face shield, hearing protection,
hard hat, as well as certified jackets, trousers and boots against high pressure jets.
•
Triggers must never be taped, tied, or otherwise altered so the equipment stays in the "on"
position. If the lance is dropped it will whip about wildly, causing serious injuries
•
The lance should be a minimum of One (1) metre length to keep the operator from pointing
it at himself and reducing recoil.
•
Never point a lance at other staff. Always treat the machine as a high-speed cutting tool.
•
When laying hoses, handle them with care. Also, check each hose to be sure it is marked
with the manufacturer's symbol, a serial number, and the maximum operating pressure.
Only use high-pressure hoses, connections and nozzles specified by DEN-SIN.
•
Pad the hose at sharp corners or suspend it where necessary.
•
Examine all hoses and fittings for defects prior to their use each day, and replace if worn.
•
When carrying out replacement of components or repairs to the system, the unit must be
locked out and tagged out so that the equipment cannot be brought into use till the work is
completed.
•
Hydro blasting systems should be depressurized if not in use and left unattended, or
replacement of components or repairs are being made to the system.
