UK Water Jetting Association Training

Tom Wallace of N.E.T.WATERJET LTD is now an approved instructor for the Water Jetting Association.

These industry leading courses are operated under guidelines, set by the UK Water Jetting Association (WJA) and give the certification required by anyone using High Pressure or Ultra High Pressure water jetting techniques. The WJA Safety Awareness course is carried out over one day and combines both a classroom session with a question/answer test and a practical session, which raises awareness of all the necessary PPE and the safe handling of all equipment.

Successful trainees are then registered with the Water Jetting Association and are provided with full certification and ID card.

After the one day Safety Awareness course, trainees can then add the following to their WJA card as appropriate to their work situations – Surface Cleaning and Preparation, Drain and Sewer Cleaning, Cutting and Breaking and Tube and Pipe Cleaning.

Tom has now been working in the water jetting industry for many years and acknowledges the requirement for all operators to be fully up to date with safety procedures. His own company N.E.T.WATERJET LTD use their robotic equipment where and when possible, as it provides the safest method for water jetting.

"Training in Scotland has been concentrated around the Aberdeen area, but now I can offer these courses at our premises in Perth or using an employer’s facility if suitable to carrying out the course."

These Courses are available at very competitive rates. So, if you want to ensure your Jetting Team is up to date with the latest legislation and instructions, contact us today.
