PRESENTATION

Dear friends:

Metal, Construcción y Afines in UGT (MCA-UGT) wishes to continue to supportyou with practical advice on health and safety in the use of the most basicmachinery used in building. This is the reason for this publication, which is thecontinuation of the volume we published previously, entitled Key Machines inBuilding and which provides more detailed information on the correct use of thismachinery and on the prevention of the risks involved, as required by the Law forthe Prevention of Occupational Risks.

Many of you have probably had contact with some of these machines but wehope that the following pages will show you aspects that you may have overlookedbut that are important to prevent occupational accidents.

As with the previous volume, MCA-UGT has decided to publish this one invarious languages to provide the large number of foreign workers in this sectorwith information on these matters.

In MCA-UGT we hope that you will find this publication interesting and useful.

With brotherly greetings,

Manuel Fernández López (“Lito”)General Secretary of MCA-UGT

1. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ON CONCRETE VIBRATORS...

l This record gives the safety standards to befollowed by the operator of a LOW FREQUENCYCONCRETE VIBRATOR.

l It is valid for electrically-operated.

l The standards are general in nature so thatsome recommendations may not apply to aspecific model.

l This record does not replace themanufacturer’s instructions manual. Theinstructions in the record complement theinformation and warning plates on the machine.

l An internal concrete vibrator is a machinedesigned to reduce the amount of air infreshly poured concrete on the site.

l Use the vibrator only for the purpose for which itwas designed.

l The vibrator must be used only for its properpurpose and always by authorised personstrained in handling this type of machine.

l The operator must familiarise himself withits handling before using it for the first time. Hemust know the purpose of each switch, themachine’s possibilities and limitations, themethod for stopping the motor quickly and thepurpose of the safety devices.

l Do not use the vibrator when a fault is foundduring the daily inspection or during its use.Report it immediately to the person responsiblefor the machine and to the rental company.

l Maintenance and repair operations and anymodification to the fork lift truck must be carriedout only by specialised personnel from therental company.

l Use working clothes with adjustable cuffs. The wearing of chains,loose clothing, etc, that could catch is not recommended.

l The use of the personal safety equipment shown in the site Healthand Safety Plan is obligatory for the situations described in it. Theitems of personal safety equipment recommended for use are shownbelow:

l Safety helmet. Must be worn when there is a risk of falling objectsor of blows to the head.

l Safety boots. Their use is obligatory on site. They must have anti-perforation, anti-slip soles. Wellington boots must be worn whenworking in trenches.

l Gloves. Must be used to prevent contact of the concrete groutingwith the skin and to reduce the transmission of vibrations.

l Safety goggles. Their use is obligatory when vibrating areas nearthe face, due to the risk of flying particles and splashes of concretegrout in the eyes.

l Ear defenders. These are obligatory when the noise exposure valueLAeq,d for the operator exceeds 87 dB(A).
