The dangers of ladders while pressure washing

Ladders are great tools that are used to transition from one level to the other. Although it is a safety tool it comes with many hazards. Common hazards include over reaching or leaning too far rather than repositioning the ladder, climbing the ladder while carrying items, standing up on the top step or rung of the ladder when it is too short for the task or using high powered equipment like a pressure washer while working off a ladder. Pressure washing can be a huge risk while working on a ladder because of the high pressure propulsion it creates from the pressure of the water leaving the tip. The propulsion can cause you and the ladder to shift sideways or backwards and fall down causing great injury or death. A safer choice to clean high structures would be to use a soft washing system capable of streaming 30 to 40 feet in the air without a ladder depending on wind conditions. Soft wash systems can be purchased from many equipment vendors across the united states or you can hire a softwash professional in your area to handle your needs.
