It supports planning and risk management for mobile plant, traffic, pressure, rotating parts, concrete exposure, electrical hazards and ground conditions.

Activities & Specific Tasks Covered

This document includes task-specific risk controls for:

Plan the work, inspect the site and coordinate plant movements
Establish traffic controls and exclusion zones
Position, stabilise and complete pre-start checks on plant
Load cement and aggregates
Operate mixers and agitators
Pump and place concrete or grout
Use table vibrators for concrete compaction
Manage blockages, stoppages and stored line pressure
Clean equipment, manage washout and inspect plant
Demobilise plant and complete sign-off

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses using concrete mixers, agitators, pumps and related concrete handling activities.
