Posted By Glynn Can anyone tell me is there any guidelines or legislation for high-pressure hoses at work. For instance we are using 10bar pressure for hosing downing material or substances in certain production areas this pressure can be used through a hose reel either 2" or 3" thick. At the moment it’s a 1-man job should this pressure be reduced when one man is using the hose or should the job be a 2-man job? What is a reasonable pressure before 2 men should be introduced to such an activity and should different areas be accounted for when using such a pressure.eg confined spaces.

Posted By Gilles27 Check out the WJA - Water jetting association who do lots of info/courses and safety training for jetting. We used them for training on the use of our jet washers etc. They have produced a COP in conjunction with HSE. www.waterjetting.org.uk
