Concrete pour: energy sources and direct controls

Concrete pours involve pumping under pressure, moving plant, formwork loading and chemical burn exposure.

High-energy check

Treat pump line whip and formwork failure as high energy. Wet concrete against skin causes serious chemical burns over time.

Trigger checks

Pressure
Compressed gas, liquid, hydraulic, pneumatic or vacuum energy.
Chemical
Harmful, reactive, flammable, corrosive or toxic substances.
Sound
Harmful noise or impulse sound.

Direct controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

Pump lines are restrained and couplings pinned.
No person stands over or beside the line during priming.
Formwork is inspected and signed off before the pour.
Skin and eye protection against cement contact is worn.
Vehicle movement is controlled by a dedicated person.
Stop if formwork moves or a line blocks.

For your SPA or pre-start

State the pump position and line restraint, the formwork check, the exclusion during priming and how skin contact and eye exposure are controlled.
