Concrete and masonry standards released.

Publication: Masonry Construction
Date: Monday, November 1 2004

The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recently released construction standards covering concrete and masonry work.

The A 10.9-1997 (R2004) standard, "Safety Requirements for Masonry and Concrete Work," covers concrete construction and masonry safety requirements, from concrete

placement and shoring to the handling and storage of pre-stressed and pre-cast concrete. It also addresses the design, erection, operation, and maintenance of concrete mixing processing plants, machinery used in transportation, and aggregate processing plants.

Reaffirmed by the American National Standards Institute, the standard is one of four recently completed projects from the A10 Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) Safety Requirements for Construction and Demolition Operations.

"These reaffirmed A 10 standards each cover a specific construction safety topic, but they are all unified with the same goal of reducing construction injuries and ensuring the safety of our fellow workers," said Richard King, A10 ASC chairman.

To order the standards, contact ASSE customer service at 847-699-2929 or visit www.asse.org
