When the job involves a pump, reinforcement or cutting concrete, Gate Ready adds the hazards (the pump boom and hose, protruding bars and silica dust) and controls like these. Each one shows its type.
Sun and heat, hazardous chemicals such as wet concrete, noise and manual handling controls are in the list too. You choose the ones that fit your job. Some states have extra rules for silica work, so check your regulator. Gate Ready suggests, you review.
Cutting, grinding or drilling concrete makes crystalline silica dust, which can cause silicosis and lung cancer years later. Gate Ready suggests silica controls and reminds you to check whether your job is high risk silica work, which needs a written silica risk control plan. Check your regulator.
Take photos of the front, the street and the reinforcement before you pour. Mark up the exclusion zone, the power lines, the pump position and the starter bars, and pin each photo to a site plan. They print with your SWMS. Photos stay on your phone. We can’t see them.
Gate Ready suggests silica training and a high risk work licence for concreting. Add the dates and it reminds you before they run out. Add your White Card and insurance too.
