CAUTION
TRIPPING HAZARD
Hoses may pose a tripping
hazard that can cause injuries
resulting fr om a fall .
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 traffic 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.
