Safety Through Training
National Association of Drainage Contractors Training Courses
High pressure water jetting is recognised as an effective environmentally friendly way to clean various sewers, pipelines, catch pits etc.
High pressure water jetting can be extremely dangerous. It is therefore essential that all staff expected to use this type of equipment receive appropriate and adequate training in accordance with the WRc Manual of Drain and Sewer Cleaning First Edition.
These codes of practice are advised to be purchased before training takes place from:
This course is Certificated by the National Association of Drainage Contractors (N.A.D.C) and
Accredited by Energy and Utilities Skills Register (EUSR) and run in accordance with the
Water Research Centre (WRc) Code of Practice.
Health and Safety within the water jetting industry is of paramount importance. Trained staff will have a greater awareness and appreciation of safe sewer jetting working practices with high pressure, high flow water jetting equipment.
In line with Health and Safety Laws and Acts Councils, insurance companies, water utilities and major contractors all demand that staff have the correct level of training and hold current valid Certification.
The National Association of Drainage Contractors (N.A.D.C) High Pressure Safety Awareness course brings all of this together.
The course is run over 1 day and covers the following topics:
Dangers associated with using high pressure water jetting equipment
Correct handling techniques
Selection process of attachments for water jetting works
Procedures used for setting up water jetting equipment
Health & Safety issues related to: High Pressure water jetting equipment
The Health and Safety At Works Act 1974

Electromechanical and milling machine awareness drain cleaning is a proven method of cleaning hard deposits, roots and rehabilitating pipe lines for CIPP repairs. It requires no water supply and can be used in situations where conventional High Pressure Water Jetting techniques are restricted or unadvisable.
Electromechanical cleaning can be extremely dangerous some of the dangers are entrapment, incorrect selection of machine for task and electrocution. It is therefore essential that all staff expected to use this type of equipment receive appropriate and adequate training.
This course is Certificated by the
National Association of Drainage Contractors (N.A.D.C) and
