2.3 Other hazards

Fresh ready mixed concrete exerts pressure both horizontally and vertically. Movement /collapse of formwork or shuttering etc. is therefore possible if such formwork or shuttering and any falsework or ancillary equipment associated with it is not properly designed and erected.  Fresh concrete which is not stiff in consistency can support very little weight. Submersion of persons in deep sections of fresh concrete is therefore possible.  Cutting, drilling or hammering of hardened/dry concrete can create dust. Hardened concrete may be high in silica and can cause respiratory problems, particularly when it is being drilled or cut or sawn if precautionary measures are not taken. Respirable crystalline silica has been associated with the lung disease, Silicosis.  Unless adequately controlled, cutting, drilling or hammering of hardened/dry concrete can project particles at high velocity with consequent risk of impact damage and/or injury, particularly to exposed areas of the body and eyes.
