Controlling Noise: High noise levels from concrete pumps can lead to permanent hearing loss. Workers may face noise exposure surpassing safety standards. According to Section 57 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, it is the responsibility of a person conducting a business or undertaking to mitigate health and safety risks related to noise-induced hearing loss. The Managing Noise and Preventing Hearing Loss at Work Code of Practice 2021 offers a comprehensive evaluation of workplace noise.

Controlling Fumes:Concrete pumps, emitting hazardous chemicals like exhaust fumes, pose health and safety risks. Section 51 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 mandates businesses to manage such risks. Placing trucks strategically to minimize exhaust gas accumulation and maintaining proper ventilation in enclosed areas are recommended measures. The Managing Risks of Hazardous Chemicals in the Workplace Code of Practice 2021 provides a detailed risk assessment for fumes, including exhaust gases. For in-depth insights into controlling noise and fume risks, refer to Section 4.4.2 of the Concrete Pumping Code of Practice 2019.
