WorkSafe Victoria has announced a focus project that aims to reinforce the importance of risk controls for the safe operation of concrete boom pumps, including inspection and maintenance practices.
Construction workers have suffered serious and fatal injuries during incidents involving boom pumps. WorkSafe has developed a document to communicate how their inspectors visit construction sites to ensure the risks associated with the setup and operation of truck-mounted mobile concrete boom pumps are, so far as reasonably practicable, controlled.
WorkSafe Victoria is actively visiting worksites where concrete pumps are present. Please follow the link below to review their concrete boom pump information sheet.
