General regulations on safety during concrete construction

Subsection 2.11 section 2 of the national technical regulation on construction safety issued together with the Circular No. 16/2021/TT-BXD on general regulations on assurance of safety for concrete construction:

- With regard to constructions with a structure or part of the structure using concrete on the spot, the work of temporary support (including the mold) and the concrete construction must be trained by the workers that perform relevant tasks under the supervision and regulation of the competent persons.

NOTE 1: The person having competence in supervising the mold and CDT prescribed in 2.3.

NOTE 2: The person authorized to supervise concrete structures shall comply with regulations of law on construction.

NOTE 3: The works using on-site concrete structures and pre-preparation structures, the construction and installation of structures are carried out in accordance with 2.10.

- The preventive measures must be taken to facilitate the workers and special attention must be paid to: the temporary supporting work to avoid the dangers that arise due to weak structure or stability; the risk of blackout due to blackout; the risk of unsafety when using machines and equipment to process steel, reinforced steel, transport and pour of concrete; the risk of burning upon use of welding machine and other heating machines; the risk of power failure upon concrete pouring.

- CDT (including formwork) must comply with the provisions of 2.3 and the additional provisions for the work of formwork in 2.11.2.
