Emergency medical information and treatment
The use of high-pressure equipment exposes the operator and other people in the area to high-pressure water.
Potential harms include eye injuries, lacerations, infections, and amputations. Do not put ice or heat on a waterjet
injury. Support injured limbs and extremities above heart level if possible.
A high-pressure injection injury is a surgical emergency. Seek immediate medical treatment for all high-pressure
waterjet injuries. Delayed treatment can cause serious injuries or death.
Waterjet operators should carry a waterproof emergency medical tag or card that describes the nature of
high-pressure waterjet injuries and the recommended treatment. Show the tag or card to emergency responders
and medical professionals.
This card can be copied, cut out, laminated, and folded.
A high-pressure injection injury is a
surgical emergency.
Seek immediate medical treatment for

Delayed treatment can cause serious
injuries or death.
The person carrying this card has been
exposed to a waterjet of up
to 4,137 bar (60,000 psi) and a velocity
of 609 m/s (2,000 feet/second). The
waterjet can contain abrasive
materials.
