1.
Sweep or rake clean the area
intended for stock piling. Remove any
debris where the bricks will be stored
2.
Stack the bricks close together
to prevent them from toppling
3.
When stacking concrete bricks,
reverse the directions of blocks every other course to prevent them from
falling over.
4.
Do not stack concrete blocks
too high. As a general rule, blocks are
not to be stocked higher than 2 meters
5.
Do not mix different sizes of
concrete blocks on the same stack
6.
Never stack cracked blocks on a
stock pile as they may break when picked up and fall on your feet
7.
Do not wear buggy clothing or
short pants when stocking or moving bricks
8.
Keep your hands on top of
concrete blocks when setting them down on the stockpile to prevent hurting your
fingers.
9.
Be careful of others around you
when handling concrete blocks
10.
Most injuries from working with
concrete blocks are a result of poor judgement, plan first lift second
11.
Use a wheelbarrow when moving
heavy materials instead of lifting and carrying them
12.
When lifting with another
person, it is always a good practice to count to three and lift on three.
1-2-lift! Yes, this helps both of you to lift at the same time, dividing the
weight between you, without putting too much strain on one person.
13.
Before setting blocks down,
make sure you have something solid to rest it on, keep your finger out from
underneath blocks to prevent getting them mashed.
14.
In the event that you are
injured on the job, report the injury to the supervisor immediately. This is necessary to help with workers
compensation claims
Safety is a
Frame of Mind, Get the Picture.
We at Blues
Bricks and Paving know that safety is a full time job not a part time
practice.....happy safe building.
