Critical items
2 of the 7 items are marked critical. If a critical item fails, stop and fix it, or keep people away, before the work goes ahead.

Tips for using it

  • Have the formwork inspected, not just looked at.
  • Agree signals between the pump operator and the crew.
  • Write down what failed and who will fix it by when. A failed item with no owner often comes back.
  • Edit the list to match your site and your procedures before you use it with a crew.
