Concrete placing equipment

Common incidents involving concrete placing equipment could include:

  • workers being hit by a concrete line hose,

To stay safe, ensure:

  • safe work systems are in place for set-up, placement and concrete operations
  • safe distances from overhead power lines
  • workers are adequately licensed, trained, skilled and supervised
  • equipment is inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with manufacturers’ requirements
  • exclusion zones are in place to prevent unauthorised access when operations are underway
  • ground conditions are suitable in supporting the operation of the concrete placement equipment and outriggers.
