protective clothing for water jetting

it is absolutely important to wear professional protective clothing when you do high pressure water jetting works, because you can get injured very gravely with a working pressure of only 100 bar. the protective clothing for works with high pressure cleaners and ultra high pressure cleaners is regulated in the directives for liquid jetting machines (zh 1/406) respective in the ec-directive 89/686. according to that the protective clothing must protect efficiently against humidity and must stand the mechanical wear of high pressure water jetting works that come from e.g. flying chunks of concrete during the concrete renovation. the personal protective equipment consists further of a helmet with eye- or face protection as well as ear-protection, slip-proof protective gloves, shin protection and slip-proof protective boots with metatarsal protection (see bg-rules for safety and health at work [bgr] 191).
