Preface
This is the first edition of CSA Z151, Concrete pumps and placing booms. It provides requirements for the design, manufacture, installation, operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of concrete pumps, placing booms, and delivery systems.
This Standard was prepared in response to an increased number of incidents, resulting from equipment failures and power line contacts, involving truck-mounted concrete pumps. It is intended to facilitate a consistent level of safety for those who work in and around concrete pumps.
Existing standards, regulations, and other documentation for concrete pumps were extensively reviewed in the preparation of this Standard.
This Standard is presented in 3 Parts:
Part 1: Design, construction, installation and markings;
Part 2: Inspection, testing and maintenance; and
Part 3: Operation.
This Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee on Truck-Mounted Concrete Pumps, under the jurisdiction of the Strategic Steering Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
Copyright permission to use parts of the ACPA Safety Manual in the development of this Standard is gratefully acknowledged.
