\[PRE TASK PLAN TITLE] ======================

Project: \[PROJECT NAME]

Date: 2025-10-10

Location: \[LOCATION]

Supervisor: \[SUPERVISOR NAME]

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

HazardRisk LevelPotential Consequences
Skin contact with wet concrete [2]MediumSkin irritation, burns, dermatitis, allergic reactions, stinging pain, itching, blisters, scabs, dead skin, and swelling. Allergic reactions can end careers.
Eye injuries from splashes or dustMediumEye irritation, burns, or loss of vision.
Slips, trips, and fallsMediumSprains, strains, fractures, or other injuries due to slippery surfaces or obstructions.
Musculoskeletal injuriesMediumBack strain, sprains, or other injuries from lifting, carrying, or repetitive motions.
Contact with moving equipmentMediumPinch points, struck by equipment.
Fall from heightHighSerious injury or death from falling from formwork or elevated platforms.

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]

\[To be determined]

Required Permits and Certifications

[2]

  • Use a dry board or waterproof kneepads for kneeling on fresh concrete. [2]

[1]

  • Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area.
  • Provide training on the hazards of working with wet concrete.

CPWR TOOLBOX THE CENTER FOR CONSTRUCTION RESEARCH AND TRAINING TALK # Wet Concrete Wet concrete is alkaline and causes skin irritation. With continuous contact, it can burn the skin, and chromium in the cement can cause allergic reactions. Such contact can lead to stinging pain, itching, blisters, scabs, dead skin, and swelling. Allergic reactions can end careers. ## Jon's Story Jon, a construction worker, had been on a project for about a month. One of his tasks was to mix wet concrete. Jon did not know that his employer should have given him protective gloves and boots, and he did not know he needed them. By the end of the month, he had several burn marks on his hands. Jon went to the doctor and learned that his injuries were so bad that he could not work for a few months until his wounds healed. - Have you or someone you worked with ever suffered a burn or skin reaction from working with wet concrete? If so, what happened? - What could the worker have done to avoid the injury caused by contact with wet concrete? ## Remember This ➤ To protect skin from wet concrete, wear protective clothing and gear: - o Coveralls with long sleeves and pant legs - o Waterproof boots high enough to prevent concrete from flowing in - o Alkali-resistant gloves - o Safety glasses. ➤ Pull sleeves down over gloves and tuck pants inside boots; use duct tape at the top of boots to keep concrete out. ➤ To reduce potential contact with wet concrete during mixing, use ready-mixed concrete instead of mixing on site, when possible. ➤ Use a dry board or waterproof kneepads to protect knee fabric from becoming soaked when kneeling on fresh concrete. ➤ Remove jewelry such as rings and watches because wet concrete can collect under them. ➤ If skin comes in contact with wet concrete, wash it immediately with pH-neutral soap and clean water. DO NOT use the water in the bucket. DO NOT use hand sanitizers. - At home, wash your work clothes separately. How can we stay safe today
