Electricity and electrical hazards
– shock, fire, burns etc.

The equipment is designed and constructed for use in industrial / commercial
environments in accordance with relevant electrical safety standards, with all
hazardous/potentially live electrical parts totally enclosed.

Only suitably trained and competent persons, as authorised by the user, are
permitted to access electrical panels or equipment or carry out electrical work.

Electrical panels and equipment must always be secured closed and only
accessible/ openable using a tool or key which is not available to untrained
personnel.

Electrically powered units should be selected, operated & maintained in accordance
with Health & Safety Executive publications PM29 and INDG68.
In particular user’s
attention is drawn to the need for provision of Residual Current Devices
(RCDs) of 30mA/30mS sensitivity on electrical circuits feeding water pressure
cleaners.

Electrically operated equipment should be periodically inspected and tested to help
maintain electrical safety.

Users should carry out daily/pre-use visual checks on electrical items including the
condition of power leads and connectors (sockets and plugs)

The electrical supply must be isolated by disconnection of the electrical supply or
battery before carrying out any work on the panel or equipment, and “proven dead”
before contacting any potentially live parts. Live working should be avoided.

The electrics and electrical installation must be periodically inspected and tested to
maintain safety.

During cleaning or jetting activities the spray should not be directed at electrical
equipment, including overhead lines, (unless such equipment has been specifically
designed for cleaning by pressure jet)
Hot surfaces and cleaning fluid
– scalds and burns

The engine exhaust gets hot in operation, but is thermally insulated within the
engine enclosure.

Hot water/steam machines generate hot water at 100
o
C+ using an internal boiler

Avoid all unlagged hot parts, and hot water/steam, and allow to cool before making
contact.
Noise

The equipment is engine powered and can generate noise levels of between 106dB
and 116dB. The water jet itself can also generate high noise levels.

Where possible, when in operation the machine should be located away from the
cleaning/jetting activity and any other persons who might be affected by the noise

Hearing protection should be worn

When in operation a noise survey should be carried out to determine any areas
which may exceed the relevant hearing action limits of 80/85dB with appropriate
precautions being put in place by the user.
