Safety Awareness

If you have not previously completed WJA Training, or if your  qualification has expired by more than 3 months, you must sit the WJA Safety Awareness Course. 

This classroom-based theory course covers all of the essential knowledge required for the safe operation of High Pressure and Ultra High Pressure (UHP) water jetting equipment.

Delivered in a friendly, interactive and easy to understand way, combining discussion, digital media & examination of equipment - giving candidates plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the subject in greater detail.

Using the innovative Clikapad system, we have removed the stress of a traditional, pen & paper "Formal" test, replaced with interactive multiple choice questioning throughout the course.

 Candidates will come away with a greater understanding of the equipment, its safe operation and the importance of regular maintenance and inspection.

Subjects covered include:

  • Physics principles of high pressure systems

  • Hazards and Risk Controls

  • Risk Assessments & Method Statements

  • Health & Safety Legislation

  • PPE/RPE Requirements

  • Pump Principles, Operation, Inspection & Maintenance

  • Safe Working Practices and Procedures

Every candidate will receive a copy of the relevant WJA Code of Practice, along with a Quick Reference Guide, Medical Card and Leptospirosis Information Card.

Water Jetting Association Red Code of Practice
Water Jetting Association Blue Code of Practice

All successful candidates will be added to the WJA International Database and issued with a certificate and WJA Photocard with details of their qualifications.

The Safety Awareness qualification is valid for a period of 3 years, after which a refresher course is required.

This course suitable to be taken as a stand-alone course for people, such as managers & health & safety staff, who will not be directly operating equipment, in which case a NON-OPERATIONAL card/certificate will be issued.

​In order to receive an OPERATIONAL qualification,

a Practical Module must also be taken.
