SAFETY for your TIP

 

NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR BOOM 

Calculate weight of all suspended items as being full of concrete                                                                                                                       

NEVER SWING IRON ON THE END OF YOUR BOOM

Double 90s, etc

NEVER SWING A DOUBLE COUPLED HOSE AS A TIP HOSE

Hose end only, no coupling device

NEVER ALLOW CO-WORKERS WITHIN THE LENGTH OF YOUR SWINGING HOSE BEFORE IT IS SAFE

Priming out, after moving, when restarting after a wait, when you are plugged, are having difficulty pumping or when you suspect air in the system

NEVER BEGIN PUMPING WITH OUT COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR HOSEMAN

Be sure they are ready and prepared to start

Never torque your boom.        example-dragging hoses on the ground left and right.

NEVER Boom over short rigged outrigger

Never boom over an unstable outrigger,

Never think that the ground is stable,use your dunnage

17' rule, never stand on your hopper grate, 1-1 rule, I like at least 50 ft from the hose incase rocks or debri blows out of it when you are priming, or repriming.

Never take your eye off the tip hose while pumping.
