ACPA - Video: Set Up and Clean Out

This video is intended to assist concrete pump owners and operators in the safe methods of setup and cleanout and features important topics such as: the ACPA one-to-one rule; outrigger extension and moving on the job as well as a comprehensive segment on cleaning out when experiencing a blockage.

The video states when power lines are within 17 feet of the area to be poured; you must have a dedicated spotter whose only job is to warn the operator if the boom approaches closer than 17 feet.

Since this video was made, the ACPA has developed a policy that requires a dedicated spotter whenever power lines are within 20 feet (50 feet when the voltage exceeds 350kv) of the area to be poured. If a spotter is not available, DO NOT DO THE POUR.
