Task Overview

Pre-task safety plan for concrete slab pouring at Kingston Site, including risk assessment, hazard controls, setup, placement, cleanup procedures, and emergency response for student training.

Expected Duration: 3 hours

Number of Workers: Multiple (students and supervisors)

Required PPE and Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment

• Alkali-resistant gloves: To protect hands from alkaline wet concrete, preventing skin irritation, burns, stinging pain, itching, blisters, scabs, dead skin, and swelling. Ensure gloves are waterproof and cover the wrist area. [2]
• Waterproof boots: High enough to prevent concrete from flowing in, protecting feet and legs from prolonged exposure to wet concrete. Tuck pants inside boots and use duct tape to secure. [2] [1]
• Safety glasses: To protect eyes from splashes and debris during mixing and pouring. [2]
• Coveralls with long sleeves and pant legs: To minimize skin exposure to wet concrete. [2]
• Hard Hat: To protect head from falling objects or striking against fixed objects. Select an appropriate impact type based on the potential hazards.

Tools and Equipment

• Concrete Mixer: Ensure the mixer is properly grounded and all safety guards are in place. Inspect for any damage before use.
• Wheelbarrows: Check tire pressure and ensure wheelbarrows are in good working condition. Avoid overloading.
• Shovels and Rakes: Inspect for damage and ensure handles are secure. Use appropriate lifting techniques to avoid back strain.
• Vibrating Screed: Ensure the vibrating screed is properly grounded and all safety guards are in place. Be aware of pinch points.

Hazard Analysis

Identified Hazards

Control Measures

• Ensure all PPE is in good condition and properly fitted. Pull sleeves down over gloves and tuck pants inside boots; use duct tape at the top of boots to keep concrete out.: Wear appropriate PPE, including alkali-resistant gloves, waterproof boots, safety glasses, and coveralls. [2] [1]
• Ensure proper fit and availability at all times.: Provide and enforce the use of safety glasses or face shields.
• Regularly inspect the work area for potential slip and trip hazards.: Maintain a clean and organized work area. Use slip-resistant footwear. Clean up spills immediately.
• Provide training on proper lifting techniques.: Use proper lifting techniques. Take frequent breaks. Rotate tasks to reduce repetitive motions.
• Establish clear communication signals between operators and spotters.: Ensure equipment operators are trained and competent. Use spotters when operating equipment near workers.
• Inspect fall protection equipment before each use.: Provide fall protection (e.g., guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems) when working at heights above 6 feet.
• Provide readily accessible washing stations with pH-neutral soap.: Wash skin immediately with pH-neutral soap and clean water if contact with wet concrete occurs. Do not use bucket water or hand sanitizers. [1] [2]
