What safety issues are there with Ice Blast?
Like all blasting type operations, worker safety should not be compromised. The system can generate up to 115 db at the nozzle when the higher velocity air meets the slower velocity ice particles. Eye and ear protection is mandatory during blasting. Respiratory protection is recommended. Protective clothing can range from simple Tyvek suits to keep general debris off the worker to full chemical gear when cleaning hazardous materials. Generally, light rain gear is used for most blasting operations. As with all blasting operations the blast nozzle should never be pointed at anyone or serious injury can occur.
