Concrete pouring and pumping

General requirements
• Exposed skin that contacts wet concrete can
become extremely irritated. In some cases, the
irritation is serious enough to result in injuries. Workers must not walk
on top of the formwork.
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.

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.
