Safety Notes
1. Fresh concrete has a very powerful caustic effect on skin owing to the alkaline nature of cement. Freshly mixed concrete, mortar, grout and slurry may
cause skin irritation including alkaline burning and dermatitis.
2. The abrasive effects of sand and aggregate in the concrete aggravate the condition and effects range from dry skin, irritant contact dermatitis and
allergic contact dermatitis to severe burns.
3. These burns can take several hours to occur and can be very painful.

Scale Assessment Description

3 High The controls in place are weak and are not mitigating the risk.
There is scope for significant improvement of controls.

2 Medium The controls in place are partially mitigating the risk.

There is scope for some improvement of controls.

1 Low Controls are deemed to be able to reduce Residual Risk to a low level; Risk
Response Action Plans being actively and successfully managed.
There is little or no scope for improvement of controls.

Ensure:
All materials and equipment used are fit for their intended
purpose and meet design specifications.
Formwork complies with the design. i.e. either a ‘formwork
designer’ or a ‘professional engineer’s specification.
Specifically:
• Base is stable.
• Suspended slabs are able to safely support loads that
might be applied during pouring.
• Frames, props and timbers are correctly spaced.
• Joist and bearer sizes are correct.
• Jack extensions are acceptable; and
• There is adequate bracing to ensure stability.

Supporting mesh:
Place reinforcing mesh supports, where required, in place on
the day of the concrete pour to reduce tripping hazard

Suitable location: Electric shock Easily accessible.
Struck by Reasonably level with a firm base.
Must be able to support the fully loaded delivery trucks.
Legislation breach Must have clearance from obstructions, power lines and
excavations.
Traffic control where required – Example: When reversing, low
clearance, obstacles, tight access or high vehicle and/or
pedestrian traffic situations.

Fatigue enough to keep concrete from flowing into them.
Skin rash or Formwork maintains line, level, plumb, shape, etc during
allergy/dermatitis; concreting.
Concrete burns
Placing concrete:
Note – To reduce manual handling concrete should be placed as
close as possible to its final destination.

Shovels - Square ended shovels are recommended for evenly

spreading concrete. (Round edged shovels will not spread the
concrete evenly.)
Flat, Even Sites - Start placing at the furthermost corner of the
formwork from where the concrete is mixed or delivered.
Always work towards the source of concrete supply, never
away from it.
Sloping Sites Start at the lowest point and work upwards to the
highest point.
Formwork – Do not exceed the maximum rate of permitted
placement.
Height - Not higher than required by the boxing. This will reduce
the amount of manual handling of wet concrete. Do not lift
concrete with a shovel, rather rake or push as required.

Lift reinforcing mesh – where required - by pulling it up with a

large hook to centre of the final slab.

Vibrating:
Ensure that the edges are well vibrated to remove any air

Eliminates high and low spots and embeds large aggregate

excess moisture or bleed water appears on the surface

Concrete finishing Personal injury: Note:

Sprains and strains Do not finish concrete while there is bleed water on the surface
as this will increase the water to cement ratio which can cause
Contract breach crazing.
Poor concrete finish Do not start final finishing until the concrete can support the
weight of a person, leaving only slight surface imprints.
Prevent indentations being formed in the concrete.

Float / Trowelling:
Floats are usually made of timber, trowels of steel. Use to even
out any minor lumps on the concrete. Sweep it in an arc-
shaped motion, keeping the edge at the front of your sweep
slightly raised, lest the float dig into the concrete.

The time between pouring and formwork stripping depends on
