17.6
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (P.P.E. or just PPE) when
working around a concrete pump (Figure 89). The gloves should resist concrete
lime burns. If you will be working
in the concrete, protect your feet and hands
with rubber boots and gloves.
17.7 When the operator is: initially priming the delivery system;
restarting after moving; restarting after adding or removing pipes or hoses; or any
time that air has been introduced into the delivery system; stand a reasonable and
prudent distance away from the tip hose or point of discharge. Do not get near the
discharge until material runs steadily and there is no movement of the delivery
system. (Figure 90). Compressed air in the line can cause rubber hose to move
violently. If the operator tells you that air is coming in the delivery system, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Get to ground level (if in a high place) and remain well away from the dis-
charge or at least take cover.
• Stay away from the discharge. Be sure that all the air is gone before getting
near the point of discharge again. It is the operator’s job to know when it’s
safe to go back to normal pumping.
17.8
When the pump crew is using compressed air to clean the boom
or system pipeline, stay away from the discharge area. Never try to hold down a
pipe or hose that is being cleaned with air.
17.9
Falling hazard! When pouring columns, slabs, or walls above
ground, secure yourself from falling.
