Product Overview

This risk assessment covers concreting activities from site set-up and deliveries through placement, clean-up and review. It supports planning and risk management for vehicle movement, equipment, formwork, manual handling, wet concrete, dust, powered equipment and washout.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Plan the work area, site set-up, boundaries and pre-start controls
Manage delivery vehicles, traffic and mobile plant movements
Set up concrete pumps and associated equipment
Check formwork, reinforcing steel and pour area readiness
Handle hoses, mesh, tools and materials safely
Manage concrete pouring, hose handling and placement activities
Control exposure to cement, wet concrete, additives and other substances
Manage dust, silica, noise, fumes and airborne contaminants
Use powered equipment and temporary electrical leads safely
Complete clean-up, washout, pack-up and end-of-task review

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out concreting activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Site set-up and pre-start planning	Unidentified underground or overhead services Vehicle and pedestrian interaction Poor ground conditions or unstable set-up area Unclear work boundaries and public access Workers not understanding site hazards or controls
Delivery vehicles, traffic and mobile plant movement	Workers struck by reversing or turning trucks Collision between delivery vehicles, pumps and other plant Blind spots and poor communication during manoeuvring Public traffic entering the work area
Concrete pump and equipment set-up	Plant overturning due to poor ground or incorrect outrigger support Contact with overhead powerlines Failure of hoses, clamps or pipeline components Workers entering pump movement zone
Formwork, reo and pour area readiness	Collapse or failure of formwork or falsework during the pour Falls into penetrations, edges or adjacent excavations Impalement or cuts from reinforcing steel Falling objects onto workers below or nearby
Manual handling and placing equipment	Musculoskeletal injury from lifting hoses, mesh, tools and materials Strains from repetitive screeding, raking and shovelling Awkward postures on uneven or congested surfaces Hand and foot injuries during handling
Pouring, hose handling and concrete placement	Hose whip or sudden line movement Workers struck by plant, hose or moving boom Slips, trips and falls on wet concrete, slurry or uneven surfaces Entrapment or loss of footing during placement
Exposure to cement, wet concrete and hazardous substances	Skin burns, dermatitis and eye injury from wet concrete or cement Exposure to additives, curing compounds or release agents Inadequate washing facilities after contact Contaminated clothing prolonging skin exposure
Dust, silica, noise and airborne contaminants	Respirable crystalline silica from cutting, grinding, drilling or cleaning concrete Dust inhalation during dry clean-up or surface preparation Excessive noise from saws, vibrators, pumps and mobile plant Exhaust fumes building up in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas
Electrical safety and powered equipment	Electric shock from damaged leads, tools or connections Use of equipment in wet conditions Contact with underground or overhead electrical services Trip hazards from leads and temporary power
Clean-up, washout and end-of-task review	Exposure to wet concrete, slurry and chemical residues during washout Uncontrolled discharge causing environmental contamination or slip hazards Residual pressure in lines or equipment during cleaning Workers re-entering plant zones during pack-up
