@kawachopp Could have been a form.
And a hardhat would have helped too.

@kawachopp good spotting , tidyness on a site saves more accos than all other rules . safety helmets increaded injuries as it impairs vision from above etc , frank rock effects
-
poor guy R.I.P and they violated several regulations and poor guy didnt wear his safety equipment either he may have still been here :[
-
Use a car fanbelt to hold the end of the hose after kinking it. Works a treat.
-
The pump was being used to obviously do the whole house. Driveways etc. Besides, the concrete pump is a concretors favorite friend. Wheelbarrows are for the 1950s.

My cousin got one to his back and he was out for a year or even more

@MrKabDrivr I agree with you that it is unfortunate, but the hose is not to blame, but inexperience. having the equipment is efficient with relation to time consumption and saving on manual labour. On site we use these day in and day out but all the work force are competently trained and we haven't had an accident with the pump!
-
@MrKabDrivr yeah, thats why a good worker always uses the right tools for the job, not just what works, or even if it seems to work better.
-
The worker died because he had no helmet to protect his head!
-
@MrKabDrivr good point but in the west they automatically pump everything. Weve got a pump to come in only to pour 2 4x4 foot pads. Think it has to do with people not wanting concrete trucks driving up on curbs n sidewalks

Someone asked the same question I had in mind: why were they using a pump to pour that slab? From what I can see, the site was accessible for a buggy (motorized or not) or heck: even a friggin' wheebarrow would've done the job... Yeah, it's a bitch to haul, but much safer! A small slab like this didn't require the use of the pump... Poor fellow... Just doin' his job, and never gets to go home... That sucks... And all this just to save what? A few minutes?...

1. Keep all personnel back REASONABLE SAFE DISTANCE from tip during priming, after re-positioning, plugging or after prolonged delays.
By doing this that gentleman would of been able to go home to see his family.
