SAFETY STANDARD FOR CONCRETE PUMPS, PLACING BOOMS, AND DELIVERY SYSTEM

Introduction General

This document is being drafted for the purpose of setting safety standards for the concrete pumping industry. One purpose of the Standard is to serve as a guide to governmental authorities having jurisdiction over subjects within the scope of the Standard. It is expected however, that the Standard will nd a major application in industry, serving as a guide to manufacturers, purchasers, and users of the equipment. If adopted for governmental use, the references to other national codes and standards in the specic volumes may be changed to refer to the corresponding regulations of the governmental authorities. The use of concrete pumps, placing booms, concrete delivery systems, and the related accessories is subject to certain hazards that cannot be met by mechanical means but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment who are competent, careful, physically and mentally qualied, and trained in the safe operation of the equipment. Serious hazards include overloading of the boom, blockages in the delivery system, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended or designed. The Standards Committee fully realizes the importance of proper design factors, minimum or maximum sizes, and other limiting dimensions covered by the Standard, all of which are closely connected with safety. Sizes, strengths, and similar criteria are dependent on many different factors, often varying with the installation and uses. These factors depend on the condition of the equipment or material; on the loads; on the acceleration or speed of the material being con-

veyed; on the type of attachments; on the number, size, and arrangement of boom sections or other parts; on environmental conditions causing corrosion or wear; on the material being transported, and on many variables that must be considered in each individual case. The rules given in the Standard must be interpreted accordingly, and judgment used in determining their application. The Standards Committee will be glad to receive criticisms of this Standards requirements and suggestions for its improvement, especially those based on actual experience in application of the rules. Suggestions for changes to the Standard should be submitted to the Secretary of The Concrete Pump Manufacturers Association, 2310 S. Green Bay Rd., Suite C, PMB #174, Racine, WI 53406 and should be in accordance with the following format: (a) cite the specic paragraph designation of the pertinent volume; (b) indicate the suggested change (addition, deletion, revision, etc.); (c) briey state the reason and/or evidence for the suggested change; (d) submit suggested changes to more than one paragraph in the order that the paragraphs appear in the volume. The Manufacturers Association will consider each suggested change in a timely manner in accordance with its procedures.

The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the inquirer submit his request utilizing the following format.
Subject: Edition: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and provide a concise description. Cite the applicable edition (version) of the pertinent volume for which the interpretation is being requested. Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specic requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings which are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain any proprietary names or information.

Question:

This standard is designed to: (a) guard against and minimize injury to workers, and otherwise provide for the protection of life, limb, and property by prescribing safety requirements; (b) provide direction to owners, employers, supervisors, and others concerned with, or responsible for, its application; and (c) guide governments and other regulatory bodies in the development, promulgation, and enforcement of appropriate safety directives.
Section III - Interpretations

Requests that are not in this format will be rewritten in this format by the Committee prior to being answered, which could change the intent of the original request. CPMA procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information which might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant CPMA Committee or Subcommittee. CPMA does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
Section IV - New and Existing Installations

Upon request, the standards Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to:

(a) Effective Date. The effective date of this volume for the purpose of dening new and existing installations is 1 year after its date of issuance. (b) New Installations.

(c) Existing Installations. Inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation of equipment manufactured and facilities constructed prior to the effective date of this volume shall be done, as applicable, in accordance with the requirements of this volume. It is not the intent of this volume to require retrotting of existing equipment. However, when an item is being modied, the need to meet the construction and installation requirements of the current standard shall be evaluated by a qualied person selected by the owner (user). If there is a substantial difference between the performance of the item and the construction and installation requirement(s) stated in this standard, which can cause a hazardous condition, changes recommended by the qualied person shall be made by the owner (user) within one year.
Section V - Mandatory and Advisory Rules

Mandatory rules of this volume are characterized by use of the word shall. If a provision is of an advisory nature, it is indicated by use of the word should and is a recommendation to be considered, the advisability of which depends on the facts in each situation.
Section VI - Metric Conversions

The values stated in U.S. Customary units are to be regarded as the standard.
