The Danish legisltation, which we will refer to, is not as clear as one could wish;
You should always consider safety when working with high-pressure – regardless of the pressure.
Your common sense will get you a long way – so use it!
High-pressure is used for cutting, cleaning, grinding on all hard surfaces. If you, as a person, are hit by a water jet, there is a risk of severe damage – therefore Sihm Højtryk A/S recommends that you wear safety equipment/clothing at all times. In the event of an accident, note that the damage can be far worse than what meets the nake eye. We have publised a a guide for medical personel, that you can download, informing them of the special pre-cautions to take when handling water jet damages.
At Sihm Højtryk we distribute clothing from both TST Sweden® and TurtleSkin®.
It all depends on the job at hand and under which conditions it is to be performed. We have put together some basic safety equipment packages that we believe are the minimum required.
When working in an upright stationary position, the safety packages PROOP1-PPE / UHP1-PPE are sufficient. However, if the operator has to move – crawling, kneeling, etc. we recommend that the operator wears a full set of safety clothing.
Contact our sales department for guidance – we are happy to share our experience and knowledge about both high-pressure and safety.
