AUSSIE HIGH PRESSURE BLASTER RISK ASSESSMENT
MODELS:
In line with the Naonal Occupaon Health & Safety Commission’s requirements the data
below applies to the following Aussie high pressure water blaster models:
 Raptor Extreme 18 (Class B)
 Raptor Extreme 21 (Class B)
 Raptor Extreme 24 (Class B)
DESCRIPTION:
Engine drive hydro-blasters designed for professional cleaning applicaons.
MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION:
Aussie Raptor pressure washers are mounted on heavy duty trolley mounted frames. They consist of a quality internal
combuson petrol engine 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 45 metres of high
pressure hose to increase operator convenience.
RISK RANKING METHOD:
Risk is the combinaon of the likelihood of a specic unwanted event and the potenal consequences if it should occur.
RISK RANKING TABLE:
The consequences (loss outcomes) are
combined with the likelihood (of those
outcomes) in the risk ranking table to
idenfy the risk rank of each loss event
(e.g. a consequence of ‘Moderate’ with a
likelihood of ‘Likely’ yields a risk rank of
17).
The table yields a risk rank from 1 to 25
for each set of probabilies and
consequences. A rank of 25 is the
highest magnitude of risk that is a highly
likely, very serious event.
A rank of 1 represents the lowest
magnitude of risk, an almost impossible
very low consequence event.
Controls must be taken to either
eliminate or minimise the risk.
