NOTICE

Page 5

Special consideration needs to be made to the safety of not just the operator of the

pressure washer, but also people who may be adjacent to the area being cleaned.

The best way to warn unsuspecting individuals is with signage and barriers.

Barriers can be as simple as plastic tra󰀩c cones or barricades to using barrier belts

around the area being cleaned. Remember, pressure washing can dislodge weak or

broken pavement turning it into projectiles that may injure others. Keeping people

clear of the area is the best way to avoid injury.

Wet pavement can be slippery to unsuspecting individuals causing injury from slips

and falls. High-pressure and low-pressure hoses can be trip hazards. Segregating

the area and placing appropriate signage can reduce injury.
