• Hazards: high-pressure water injection injuries, exposure to residual petroleum products or chemicals, confined space risks (oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, flammable vapors), slips/trips on wet surfaces, and electrical hazards from powered equipment
• Recommended controls: OSHA-compliant confined space program implementation, continuous atmospheric monitoring, lockout/tagout for connected systems, PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses or face shield, waterproof boots, waterproof suit, respirator with appropriate cartridges, hearing protection), intrinsically safe lighting and equipment, and proper wastewater disposal methods
• OSHA-compliant guidance for confined space safety (29 CFR 1910.146), flammable liquid handling (29 CFR 1926 Subpart F), and high-pressure equipment operation
• Delivered in fully editable PDF/Word format for easy customization

Ideal for environmental remediation contractors, petroleum service providers, and industrial cleaning crews.
