High pressure water cleaning is one of the most effective ways to remove fouling from process equipment. Despite great progress in safety practices and hands-free automation technology, incidents and near misses continue to occur each year in hydroblasting and industrial vacuuming operations.
The 30-minute eLearning module provides a basic introduction suitable for individuals with no previous knowledge of industrial cleaning and includes information on hydroblasting applications, hazards, and several engineering controls to help mitigate hazards.

Completing WJTA eLearning and instructor-led operator training courses is an excellent option for asset owner permit writers, operators, auditors and safety associates to understand hydroblasting and industrial vacuuming best practices.
Understanding industry-standard terminology and best practices allows asset owners to properly oversee industrial cleaning operations and partner with service providers as effectively as possible.

WJTA has delivered expert-led in-person and virtual seminars. These sessions can be tailored to the asset owner's cleaning challenges and provide interactive instruction on hydroblasting or vacuuming applications, technology, hazards, safe practices and automation.
Learning objectives will vary, but trainees should leave with an understanding of engineering controls and best practices and be able to field-identify safe work requirements.
