Event Description: ACPA Concrete Pump Operator Certification meets the safety training requirement included in the ASME B30.27 safety standard for material placement systems for concrete pumps and conveyors, and is the only industry-recognized certification program that provides an independent written assessment of an operator's knowledge regarding concrete pump safety. Specific equipment experience time and completion of the ACPA Safety Training Program are prerequisites for ACPA Certification.

Attending WOC Seminar TU403 on Concrete Pump Safety fulfills the safety training requirement and is a comprehensive, in-depth course covering all the points included in the Certification Exam. Both experienced and inexperienced operators can fulfill their safety training requirement, have the opportunity to take the exam and then apply for certification once the required experience time is reached. The Certification exam is scheduled Tuesday afternoon, 1:00 - 3:00 pm.

• Summarize the concrete pumping basics from before the job preparation to cleaning out and completing the job
• Discuss detailed instructions on specific safety hazards such as: operating near power lines; outrigger setup; cleanout procedures; and air entrapment
• Identify the top safety issues and how to safely and effectively deal with co-workers coming in contact with a concrete pump on the job

4.0 continuing education hours approved for AIA/CES (HSW) and PDH.

If you plan on taking the Certification exam*, attending this seminar will fulfill the continuing safety education training prerequisite.
