The New CSA Z151-17 Concrete Pump Standard is Out!
In response to an increased number of incidents resulting from equipment failures and power line contacts involving truck-mounted concrete pumps, CSA has published this second edition of CSA Z-151-17, concrete pumps and placing booms. It is intended to facilitate a consistent level of safety for those who work in and around concrete pumps.
The Standard provides requirements for the design, manufacture, installation, operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of concrete pumps, placing booms, and delivery systems.
Key changes in this second edition include the addition of roles and responsibilities of each party involved on the jobsite; the addition of qualification requirements for concrete pump operators; updates to Clause 4 (Design), Clause 5 (Inspection and testing), Clause 6 (Operation); and the addition of Annex A: Concrete boom pump safe work procedures, outrigger support options, and surface load bearing evaluation.
