In conjunction with the American Concrete Pumping Association’s (ACPA) endorsed insurance provider NBIS Inc., ACPA now offers a webinar to help concrete pumpers, contractors and ready-mixed companies navigate the American Society of Mechanical Engineers new B30.27-2014 safety standard. Entitled “An Introduction to ASME B30.27-2014 with Responsibilities Delineation,” the webinar is hosted by Robert Edwards of NBIS and enables participants to understand their responsibilities as well as the responsibilities of others on a concrete pour.
The webinar will benefit any contractor who works with concrete pumpers. To view the webinar, visit www.concretepumpers.com.
The B30.27 standard went into effect on March 25, 2015 after years of evaluation and industry input. It was created to prevent or minimize injury to workers by prescribing safety requirements and outlines the standard for jobsite responsibilities for concrete material placing systems. With the B30.27-2014 standard in place, clear direction is given to all parties on the jobsite. Obtaining a hard copy of the standard is imperative, as the digital version will not allow printing or sharing with other computers.
A link to purchase a copy of the standard can be found on the front page of the ACPA website at www.concretepumpers.com.
The ACPA is a non-profit association which serves as an advocate for the concrete pumping industry committed to promotion, education and safety for its members and all those coming into contact with a concrete pump on the construction job site.
