Hand/Arm Vibration (HAV)

Hand held lances can transfer vibration generated by pulsation of the high pressure
pump, to the operator’s hands.

The most appropriate lance/nozzle combination, with minimum vibration levels,
should be selected.

If necessary, users need to carry out HAV assessment/measurement and put in
place appropriate precautions to minimise/manage any identified risks.
Water-borne di
seases (notably Legionellosis & Weil’s Disease)

Legionella bacteria can be present and breed in water at temperatures between 20
o
and 45
o
C, and can thrive in the presence of nutrients such as rust, sludge, scale,
algae, organic material or other bacteria. This becomes hazardous when in aerosol
form, for example as generated by cleaning and jetting nozzles.

The equipment should therefore be operated using water sources outside these
temperatures and regularly cleaned, flushed and maintained to prevent the
development and existence of conditions where nutrients can exist.

Preferably only water from a known clean source should be used (e.g. mains water
supply)

The system should be flushed through prior to each use by running the equipment
for a few minutes to remove all stagnant water, minimising production of and
avoiding breathing of any aerosol.

The attention of UK users is drawn to Health and Safety Executive “Approved Code
of Practice” L8 which details the precautions that employers are required to take in
respect of Legionnaires disease, including the need to carry out a risk assessment;
have an appointed competent person; have in place a legionella control scheme:
and review of control measures.

The system/equipment should be included by the user within his overall legionella
assessment and management programme which will determine any further
actions/precautions/monitoring which may be necessary.

Weils disease can exist in stagnant water, therefore only water from known clean
sources should be used.

Operators should wear waterproof gloves and skin protection, and wash hands
regularly at the end of work, before eating, and before using the toilet.
Fuels and Lubricants

Fuelling and maintenance should take place with the machine shut down (and
isolated if required) and in a cold state.

PPE should be worn to avoid skin/eye contact

Used lubricant/engine oil should be collected and disposed of in accordance with
local requirements.
