Concrete pouring and pumping
Page 1 of 2
General requirements
Exposed skin that contacts wet concrete can become extremely irritated. In some cases, the irritation is serious enough to result in injuries.
To prevent exposure, personal protective equipment is required: hard hat, gloves, and safety glasses. Wear a long-sleeved shirt to protect against both site hazards and sun exposure.
Unless working on the ground, pouring and pumping concrete into wall forms must be done from platforms. The platforms must be a minimum of 510 mm (20 in.) wide and set at about 1 m (3 ft.) below the top of the form.
•
•
Workers must not walk on top of the formwork.
Single-pole wooden scaffolding for pouring or pumping concrete.
Note: Guardrails may not be required if scaffolding is less than 3 m (10 ft.) above grade.
