Safety Advice

It is important to us that our customers work safely with our products. After all, work on sewers is not without danger and improper use of high-pressure equipment can lead to serious injury. Users of high-pressure machines must therefore take all safety aspects into account and be properly trained.

#WORKSAFE

We are using #WorkSafe as the main theme for a wide range of essential health and safety advice for sewer and drainage contractors and engineers. Stay tuned to this page and our social media channels for regular information and advice updates.

Whether you’re starting out on a career in the water industry, or an experienced operator, the health and safety of your engineers, customers and the public is of paramount importance. To reduce risk, drainage engineers should ensure that the correct health and safety procedures are always followed. Watch the video below for an overview of safe practices.

High-pressure water travels at over 400mph and can be lethal. Get it wrong and it can do some serious damage.

Of course, jetting equipment has become quieter, lighter and safer, and working practices have improved but accidents still happen every day. We estimate there are over 1000 injuries every year from using high-pressure water equipment.

“The courses we provide are about making sure that operators are working safely and the risk is being managed. Many accidents are preventable with the right training and the correct care and attention on the job.
