The Water Jetting Association

Welcome to the official website of The Water Jetting Association (WJA).

The WJA formally known as the Association of High Pressure Water Jetting Contractors (AHPWJC) was formed over 30 years ago by a small group of like minded Contractors, Manufacturers and Hirers all committed to raising Safety Standards within the emerging Industry of High Pressure Water Jetting.

These initial Aims & Objectives still ring true today - the first Code of Practice (CoP) was published in 1982 - and over the next 25 years the CoP has been subject to 5 re-writes - finally in 2002 becoming the A4 Blue Code of Practice that we have today and which is now subject to a further major re-write (2012).

This has all evolved through the WJA Technical Committee with the valued assistance of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) and is now recognised as the only true reference for the High Pressure Water Jetting Industry.

What Does The WJA Do?

The WJA is a Trade Association representing Contractors, Manufacturers, Hirers and other companies interested in all aspects of High Pressure Water Jetting - It aims to advance the interests of its members and unite them in achieving agreed objectives as detailed in the WJA's Constitution.

It is lead by a President, Vice President and a Ruling Council all elected by the members in General Meeting.

The day-to-day affairs of the WJA are managed by a proficient, professionally qualified staff with substantial experience in all aspects of Water Jetting Industry and Trade Association work.
