How should the hazardous waste risks be handled in water jetting operations?
To handle the risks associated to hazardous substances in water jetting operations correctly, a product safety data sheet as well as an appropriate working permit must be obtained before starting the job.
The risks arising from potential exposure to hazardous waste material should be identified, assessed and controlled.
A suitable location for the cleaning operation has to be defined before work commences to minimize or eliminate the threat of exposure to personnel working on site, to properly protect workers actively cleaning the contaminated equipment with the appropriate PPE and to eliminate the possibility of accidental flow into unprotected channels.
