Outdoor cleaning, whether you are doing it yourself or are affected by someone else doing it, can be a hazardous occupation, possibly leading to a personal injury compensation claim.
One of the pieces of equipment often used for industrial cleaning is a high-powered jet pressure washer and in the hands of an inexperienced user these can be quite dangerous for a number of reasons.
Even workers who regularly use such equipment can have an accident if the washer is faulty, badly maintained or handled incorrectly. Employers have a duty to ensure such equipment is safe and that the likelihood of an industrial accident and injury is reduced.
The power of the water stream can damage skin and there are a number of other potential hazards for the user. These workplace injuries could include injuries caused by the heavy hose, electric shock from the combination of electricity and water, and burns, both chemical and from hot water.
Then there are the more usual health and safety hazards of which everyone needs to be aware. These situations which could cause a personal injury apply equally to members of the public or other employees in the vicinity of the equipment being used.
Slips, trips and falls could be caused on wet surfaces and the hose and flying debris blasted off may be a danger. If the water has frozen, ice will be formed and if ladders or platforms are in use standard safety precautions should be used.
