The Water Jetting Association Safety Awareness and Drains & Sewer course is designed to provide operatives and supervisors with safe working knowledge of high-pressure water. It covers all critical areas of water jetting usage and safety, including identifying the hazards of high-pressure water jetting, pre-work checks, risk assessment and use of personal protective equipment.
