assistance in case of necessity and of taking turns during long and demanding operation.
4. Access to the work area that is within the water jets’ range must be absolutely prohibited to and free from objects
that, inadvertently under a pressure jet, can be damaged and or create dangerous situations.
5. The water jet must only and always be directed in the direction of the work area, including during testing or
preliminary tests or checks..

suitable guards must be provided by the Operator to protect anything that may be accidentally exposed.
7. The Operator should not be distracted for any reason during operation. Workers needing to access the operating
area must wait for the Operator to stop work, and then immediately make their presence known.

other team members in order to avoid dangerous misunderstandings.

and without the Operator having already directed his/her lance toward the work area.
