The Water Jetting Association 'The WJA'
It was some 30 years ago that the Association of High Pressure Water Jetting Contractors first decided to seek the help of - and provide information to - Safety Officers from all over the country about the enormous benefits (and potential hazards) of High Pressure Water Jetting.
From these early beginnings we have developed to the stage where a National Vocational Qualification or 'NVQ' can be offered to all employees of any suitable company. In line with the Associations policy of seeking the widest publicity for our projects and products this course is not limited to a 'Member Only' club. Anyone can join the system and their staff can hold an NVQ Certificate. The Association also recognises and supports the CSCS or Construction Skills Certification Scheme - there will be a route to CSCS Certification via the WJA Training Certificates and 'Industry Accreditation'.
Even in the early 1980's it was clear that there were a number of companies involved in this exciting new technology who were sufficiently altruistic to wish to make sure that "Best Practice" techniques and applications were a matter of common knowledge - and never part of the rules of a 'private club' or cartel. From its very inception the "Code of Practice" has been available to all-comers - members or not, - competitors or not. As a result of this approach the AHPWJC (as it was known in the early days) was able to build a long-standing relationship with the Health and Safety Executive as well as the PSA and a number of other Public and Local Authorities.
