Does anyone know if Cemex has a safety program? Do they belone to the ACPA or any other group?

Hey, safety first.

What if the floor caved in?

Does anyone know if Cemex has a safety program? Do they belone to the ACPA or any other group?

Guess not,geez

Sw we should be strapping all hose men to the end of the boom??? what if he has a hose whip or the boom comes down?

Actually, it's the hose-man tied to the boom, not the operator. No big deal UNTIL the boom is stretched flat out...then his weight causes a tip-over and he can't get away. I'm always amazed at the ingenuity of people in finding new and creative ways to get hurt.

I think they are doing it wrong!

what an idiots.

I wonder why the first half of that is in reverse. So, if the hose man works his way around the hose enough times, will he end up with the strap wrapped around the hose and not able to move.

might be that he knows a hose whip could throw him off the deck that has NO guard rails. as bigstick used to always tell me, you cant fix stupid

What I never understand is why do all the videos I see of people pumping they always have the hose so high off the ground when I operate I keep the hose about a foot off of the ground at all times

You run the hose high so the hose man doesn't have to push the entire hose.. if you run the hose a foot off the ground the hose man is pushing more weight. I don't like them pushing to much I would rather work the boom but people out here in Tennessee love pushing that hose.

I'll tell you in my opinion if the hose man has to push the hose around then the operator is not doing his job right,that's just what I think that's all.

No pushing at the hose at all.. Wooowww you are a good operator. Or your finnishers have to work like hell or your floors don't have to be so flat.

Yes Dipstick your right I am a very good operator or so I'm told by the contractors but I guess they are full of $hit right

Hose should be at hip height on slabs and knee height on walls and grade beams. pushing so much dead weight is hard on the body

Mudcup a good operator would run the boom how the hose man would like. I always tell them this is your pump for the day I just run it. If its safe I will do the best I can

I understand what your saying guys after every mixer empty's out I always ask the hose guy how we're doin any they say very good they never say raise the hose but if they ever do I will, whatever makes it easier on the contractor I will do
