The Pressure Cleaner Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help implement safe practices when using a water pressure cleaner.
It covers the hazards (noise, slippery surfaces, hazardous chemicals and fluids under pressure), the PPE to wear, operator training and the pre-operational inspection of the equipment.
It also sets out the step-by-step operation from exclusion zones to handling the spray lance, storage in frost-prone areas, and maintenance under lockout/tagout, with a hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant.
