Placing Concrete

Place Concrete:

* Using the truck chute to fill the form by backing up the truck or pulling it forward

* As close to its final location as possible--the Jess you move it, the better

* Starting where strikeoff work will begin

* Starting at the low end and working uphill, if on a slope

* Into (instead of away from) fresh concrete

* Using square-nose shovels, come-alongs, or concrete rakes to move concrete

Using a Ready-Mix Truck

1. When using chutes, the farthest concrete can be placed is -- feet, measured from the truck's tires to the point of discharge.

2. Keep the wheels of a ready-mix truck -- away from excavations and trenches for each 1 foot of depth of the excavation or trench.

3. Free unloading time is -- minutes per cubic yard. Additional unloading time is charged at $-- per minute.

4. Only -- or -- can direct ready-mix trucks to cross sidewalks, curbs, or lawns, or allow onsite access to areas that can be damaged by the truck's weight. A loaded truck can weigh 25 tons.

Be Safe

In addition to other safety requirements, when placing concrete, workers should wear:

* Full-length shirts and trousers

* Rubber boots and gloves

* Eye protection when exposed to concrete splatter

WARNING: Fresh portland cement concrete can cause skin irritation and burns. Injury may result from wet clothing. Wash skin promptly after contact.
