AUSSIE HIGH PRESSURE BLASTER RISK ASSESSMENT
MODELS:
In line with the National Occupation Health & Safety Commission’s requirements the data below applies to the
Aussie Scud range of high pressure water blaster models:
Monsoon 100
Monsoon 140
DESCRIPTION:
Electric drive high pressure cold water blasters designed for professional cleaning applications.
MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION:
Aussie Monsoon Scud pressure washers are mounted on heavy duty trolley mounted frames. They consist of a
quality 4 pole electric motor driving a triplex style three piston high pressure pump. The machines are supplied
with wheels for ease of portability and manoeuvrability. The machines can be supplied with hose reels and up to
30 metres of high pressure hose to increase operator convenience.
RISK RANKING METHOD:
Risk is the combination of the likelihood of a specific unwanted event and the potential consequences if it should
occur.
RISK RANKING METHOD:
For each event, the appropriate probability (a letter A to E) and consequences (a number 1 to 5) is selected.
RISK RANKING TABLE:
The consequences (loss outcomes) are combined with the
probability (of those outcomes) in the risk ranking table to
identify the risk rank of each loss event (e.g. a consequence of
3 with a probability of B yields a risk rank of 9).
The table yields a risk rank from 1 to 25 for each set of
probabilities and consequences. A rank of 1 is the highest
magnitude or risk that is a highly likely, very serious event.
A rank of 25 represents the lowest magnitude of risk, an almost
impossible very low consequence event.
Controls must be taken to either eliminate or
minimise the risk.
