Determine the weather condition if hot condition, sand storm condition, rainy condition or sunny condition, before placing the Order of Concrete to Ready Mix supplier. Sprinkle clean water on the top of polyethylene sheet for bonding of concrete. When the Ready Mix Concrete arrived inform to the Engineers and applies the QCTesting of Concrete standard like slump test, temperature and volume at concrete check point. Place the Ready mix concrete by Concrete Mobile Pumps or direct pouring with chute and fallow the basic method statement for placing of concrete using Concrete Mobile Pump or direct pouring. When the Ready mix concrete placed on the area, level the concrete according to approved level of screed. Finish as per required surface finish the screed according to Specification or approval by Engineers. When the initial set of concrete occurs, apply immediately an approved curing compound or water curing.

SAFETY PRECAUTION 8.1 Prime importance shall be given to safety of personnel and protection utility Service. It ensures that the personnel involved are thoroughly aware of the company Safety regulation. Any Machineries and Equipment must operate only by well trained and experienced personnel. Protective clothing and equipment will be necessary and will ensure that any special protective clothing or equipment required and any signs relating to the wearing of helmets, eye protection, ear defenders, visibility vest etc., are ordered and available for use on site and that subcontractors are made aware of any site requirements, especially for the wearing of safety helmets. Instruct staff in the correct handling and lifting of materials as required for the handling of materials which could cause injuries to the hands. Risk assessment letter should issue by Safety In-charge before start of activity and immediately post at the working area during activity.
