•
Increase the curing time of the concrete when
facing fast drying and shrinkage due to
evaporation from wind or low temperatures.
•
The time span between casting and stripping
shall be the same for all parts of the concrete
structure. This is justified when a high finishing
quality is aimed for because the tone of the
concrete surface depends on how long the
concrete surface is isolated from the outside.
•
Ensure the absence of unauthorised people in the
vicinity where stripping takes place.
•
Once stripping is finished, place the formwork on
a sort of support and proceed with its cleaning
and dismantling, if it is not going to be used for
further casts.

•
Get informed about hazards on the building site
and preventive measures to avoid those.
•
Obey the instructions of the person-in-charge at
the workplace.
•
Ensure adequate communication between the
employees working together.
•
Use work equipment only when authorised,
trained
and
provided
with
all
required
information to conduct it.
•
Maintain minimum distances to mobile work
equipment (forklifts, lorries, cranes, other
construction machinery) and to areas with the
risk of falling objects.
•
Do not stand, walk, or work under suspended
loads, nor under the trajectory or in the vicinity of
these loads.
•
Avoid the parts suffering blows and crushing
during transport, handling and storage.
•
The material is packed for transport in
appropriate containers such as wood or steel
pallets, boxes, or strapped in bundles with stable
base.
•
Strap the bundles sufficiently stable to prevent
them from moving and getting damaged. If
necessary, protect the items with some sort of
buffer.
•
Cut the metal strap, standing on the side, using
gloves and goggles to prevent getting cut by the
bouncing strap or caught in the strap.

•
Ensure the stable loading of the material,
complying with the instructions of the driver
(equilibrated distribution on the lorry bed,
fastening of auxiliary items, etc.).
•
Keep your distance when opening the containers
after transport to prevent injuries from falling
objects.

Manual handling of loads
Some ergonomic principles to be followed are listed
below:
•
Do not make any sudden jerky movements.
•
Before lifting the load, examine it to detect any
sharp corners, dirt, etc. and decide according to
its shape, weight and volume for the best way to
get a secure grip of the load.
•
Lift, separating the feet at shoulder distance,
duck, bending the knees, never the back.
•
Do not attempt to lift alone, any load that is too
heavy, too large, or awkward. Use a mechanical
lifting device or get a helping hand from co-
workers.
