The provision of a safe working environment is the
responsibility of the project owner, the principal
contactor and all parties involved in the project.
The purpose of this document is to complement
CCAAs Concrete Safe Site Delivery brochure by
providing additional information in relation to safe
practices when working with or near concrete pumps.
Injury and incident data of CCAA member companies
was collated and analysed in the preparation of this
brochure. This analysis showed that one of the most
serious and frequent risks faced when working near a
concrete pump is the explosive force generated from a
line or coupling failure. The projectile concrete that is
generated can cause significant injury.
