checks on arrival to
site
PRIOR TO SITE
ACCESS
 Use of mobile
concrete pump
 Unauthorized operation ofthe mobile
pump resulting in incident;
 Failure due to use of un-certificated
pump;

i. All mobile concrete pumps to be Third Party Certificated by a DM
approved inspector,documentation available on arrival to site;
ii. Operators to have in-date Third Party certificate by approved body,
available for review on arrival to site;
iii. Pump load indicator to be installed and functioning correctly;
iv. Visual inspection of pump undertaken by competentperson;
Documentation

Access of mobile pump
and delivery trucks to
work areas
 Plant and workers in
same working area;
 Collision with plantor vehicles and
live traffic;
 Workers struck by plant, very high
risk of fatality;
 Uncontrolled pump and truck
reversing;
i. Worker pedestrian routes to be designed and implemented with clear
signage to provide segregation;
ii. Instruction to workers at induction on use of access routes around the
project;
iii. Flagmen to be used to control Pump and delivery truck movements;
iv. The Logistics plan shall clearlyillustrate pump access and egress points;

complying with
flagmen

3 Siting and setting up of
concrete pump
 Working in proximity
to existing structures
and services;
 Overturning due to incorrectsiting or
incorrectpump outrigger extension;
 Collision ofjib with overhead
services;
 Blocking access routes with pump;
 Jib striking stationarystructures;

i. Ensure pump is setup/rigged outcorrectly, is on firm level ground as per
siting plan with outriggers fullyextended;
ii. Solid barriers should be situated,where practicable,to protect pump from
traffic routes around working radius ofcab;
iii. Consideration given to overhead services and existing structures when
siting pump;
Unable to fully
extend outriggers
due to restrictions
in area
Operation revised,pump
moved to new area;
Pump never used withoutfull
outrigger extension

Pumping concrete
(Pump Operator)
 Operator competency;
 Pump planning;
 Incidentdue to use of defective
hoses /equipment;
 Concrete spillage;

i. Pumping Plan to be completed prior to any pour taking place by
TemporaryWorks Coordinator;
ii. Method statements and risk assessments to be submitted and adhered to;
iii. Pump load indicator to be functioning correctly, and not to be overridden
under any circumstances;
iv. Operator to adhere to safe working load limits;
v. Daily inspections ofhoses,pipes,connections etc.prior to use.Damaged

operating radius;
 Reversing concrete
delivery vehicles;
 Worker struck by delivery vehicle;
 Hose swinging /spinning
uncontrolled;
 Pump operator unable to see task –
high level pumping;
 Over-sailing of material over live
traffic routes;
 Use of concrete – protective gear;
