Australia’s leading designer and manufacturer of high pressure water blaster equipment is launching its FREE safety training course, Aussie Blaster Safe Operator.
Australian Pump Industries has long been concerned with safety for operators of high pressure cleaners. The Aussie Pump range of pressure cleaners, sold not only in Australia now but globally, has set new standards in the safe design of high pressure cleaning devices up to 500 bar (7300 psi).
As the product range expanded and received domestic and export attention, the company realised that safety in the use of the equipment is an essential part of the package.
When Australian Safety Standards were introduced to protect operators in the workplace from potential serious injuries, training courses for Class B operators became compulsory.
“Although Class B operators are mandated to undertake formal training and certification, we know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of operators using Class A machines without training of any kind,” said Aussie’s chief engineer, John Hales.
Aussie Pumps produced their own training program for Class A operators, Aussie Blaster Safe Operator.

The course is aimed at operators of high pressure water blasters of all types and brands.
“It’s our contribution to the industry,” said Hales. “We provide this free training program to all Class A users, regardless of the brand they are operating.
“We are always open to listening to feedback from end users and through this realised there were some extraordinary risks being taken by untrained operators,” said Hales.
“Our aim is to prevent injuries by training operators to identify hazards and in understanding how the equipment works.”
It takes less than half an hour and when completed participants will obtain an Aussie Pumps Certificate of Completion.
Further information on Aussie’s complete range of high pressure cleaners in both hot and cold versions, is available from Australian Pump Industries.
