Why is it in your best interest to train your drain-cleaning operators?
If your drain cleaning system is a ‘Class B’ high-pressure water jetting pump, you and your drain-cleaning operators need to be trained as per the Australian Standards.
Untrained operators may affect your company’s insurance policy!
The Australian/New Zealand Standards for “High-Pressure Water Jetting Systems” were released in 2013 in a bid to provide information that would assist in the prevention of fatalities and injuries being sustained by drain cleaning and HPWJ operators both here and in New Zealand.
The Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act 2011 – Section 19 “Duty of Care” places the responsibility squarely on the employer, stating… “The person conducting a business or undertaking MUST ensure the provision of information, training, instruction or supervision that is necessary to protect all persons from risks to their health and safety from works carried out as part of their business or undertaking”.
The standards, both AS/NZS 4233.1-2013 High-pressure water jetting systems.
- Part 1: Safe Operation and Maintenance and AS/NZS 4233.2-2013
- Part 2: Construction and performance, in conjunction with the national qualifications MSMSS00005, operate a drain cleaning system are the documents referred to when looking to what is deemed appropriate training in drain cleaning and high-pressure water jetting systems in Australia.
The Australia/NZ Standard recommends training by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) with a 1-day refresher training course undertaken by high-pressure water jetting and drain cleaning operators every two years.
Assassin Jetters provides a 2-day intensive RTO training course in “Drain Cleaning System Operation”, which covers…
• Basic pump operation and parts familiarisation

Recipients of the training receive a National Qualification in the form of a Statement of Attainment verifying competency in Drain Cleaning operations.
