WJTA-IMCA is excited to announce the release of the first edition Industry Best Practices for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment(formerly Recommended Practices for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment). The new Industry Best Practices represents significant updates to the Waterjetting Recommended Practices (5th ed.).
WJTA-IMCA’s Safety Committee for High Pressure, comprised of contractors, manufacturers, educators, researchers, consultants, and facility/asset owners, has worked for over a year to review and update the previous edition, bringing the guidelines up to a level reflecting current safe practices among contractors and facilities.
The Industry Best Practices includes information about responsibility, accidents, pre-service and operational checklists and procedures, PPE, training requirements, waterjet team responsibilities, care and maintenance of equipment, automated equipment, permanent cleaning areas, design criteria, and a glossary of definitions and guidelines.
Copies of the new manual will be available for purchase at the WJTA-IMCA Expo, Nov. 2-3, in New Orleans, or can be purchased through the WJTA-IMCA online store.
