Description:
Session Code: CO5
The More you Know, the SAFER it gets!
Achieving a successful pour when using a concrete pump on the job isn't just happenstance; it requires determined collaboration from the entire ready mixed, concrete pumper and placing team. In this session, we'll discuss the responsibilities each member of the placing team has that can ensure the most efficient, profitable, and best of all safest placement possible. You'll learn what to expect and how to prepare when working with a concrete pump and most important, how to identify potential hazards that can lead to an unfortunate, and many times avoidable, accident. Specific topics include:
• Pre-pour planning, size and type of placing equipment, special needs
• Site preparation for placement and ready mixed access
• Communication: hand signals, spotter responsibilities
• Mix designs
• Hazards such as entrapped air, power lines and tipping
