That is a very good point. I think people just do what is easy and don't consider the H&S especially when they are not employing. OK before anyone says it, I know there are lots of diligent people who do think about things and even if they don't do a formal risk assessment they do a mental one!i find the x-jet so easy to control @Herm even in tight/small areas you may have set yours up differently to mine i don't know.
in the above video you see jcb spraying holding the hypo drum in one hand, this is not the safest way to do this at all, imagine if he slipped or tripped on all that surfactant and that drum spilled out all over him a&e calls and a fair few visits to get the burns re-dressed, you tube is full of people doing it this way and facebook has a fair few mentions of people having accidents using this method, ben supplies a five metre hose and a valve to shut the hypo on and off for a reason, you would ideally place the drum in the middle of the space needing spraying and work outwards giving you a ten metre radius turning the valve on or off when needed thats what its there for, for safety your safety. i saw no 5 metre hose or a valve in that video.
It's good that you point it out, thanks.
