1. Job details

2. Quick checks

  • Equipment: machine, hose, lance, trigger and fittings checked for damage or leaks.

  • Electrics: if electric equipment is used, plug, lead, extension and RCD checked and routed safely.

  • Surfaces checked – no holes, loose slabs, uneven ground, ice, moss, mould or slip hazards.

  • Bystanders: public, pets, vehicles and fragile items kept clear – spray/debris zone controlled.

  • Surface and pressure settings are suitable – no risk of damaging pointing, paint or seals.

  • Water hose route planned to avoid trips and loss of control.

  • Chemicals/detergents identified, used safely, and runoff controlled.

  • Weather is suitable and safe footing can be maintained throughout the job.

  • Suitable PPE worn – eye, foot, hand and hearing protection as needed.

If electrics, unstable surfaces or unsafe runoff make the job unsafe: STOP, REASSESS before starting.
