    Study Notes

    Concrete Safety Protocols

    • Concrete Formwork Removal: Confirm safety by testing the concrete’s compressive strength before removal.

    Shoring Requirements

    • Shoring for Concrete: Implement all recommended methods for shoring during concrete operations to ensure structural safety.

    Concrete Bucket Safety

    • Employee Safety: Riding in a concrete bucket is strictly prohibited to prevent accidents and injuries.

    Concrete Pumping Systems

    • Support Design: Concrete pumping systems require pipe supports that are engineered for a 100% overload capacity to ensure stability and safety.

    Masonry Construction Zones

    • Limited Access Zone: Establish a limited access zone during masonry construction to restrict entry to essential personnel only.

    Jacking Operations Protocol

    • Presence During Operations: Only allow employees essential to the jacking operation to be present in the building, minimizing risk and exposure to hazards.
