Emergency medical information and treatment
High-pressure equipment puts the operator and other personnel in the area at risk of contact with high-pressure
water. Possible injuries could include eye damage, lacerations, infections, and amputations. Do not put ice or heat
on a waterjet injury. Use a support to keep injured limbs and extremities above heart level, if possible.
Waterjet operators should have a waterproof emergency medical tag or card that describes high-pressure
waterjet injuries and the recommended treatment. Show the tag or card to emergency responders and medical
professionals.
This card can be copied, cut out, laminated, and folded.
A high-pressure injection injury is a
surgical emergency.
Get medical treatment immediately for
all high-pressure waterjet injuries.
The person with this card has been
exposed to a waterjet of up
to 4,140 bar (60,000 psi) and a velocity
of 609 m/s (2,000 feet/second). The
waterjet can contain abrasive
materials.

to 6 hours. Tissue becomes ischemic and
necrotic within 12 hours.
Consult a surgical specialist immediately
for decompression, removal of foreign
materials, and debridement.
