National Ready Mixed Concrete Association has producted a drum-rescue video for plant staff, as well as municipal fire and rescue departments. NRMCA officials emphasize that performing maintenance inside a concrete-mixer drum is a task involving risk; and, if a rescue is necessary, the video offers guidance to ensure a good outcome. Among topics covered are: operators working in a mixer drum; lock out/tag out; confined space regulations; personal protective equipment; proper drum-chipping procedures; emergency response procedures; two simulated rescues; and, mixer types and usage. Orders can be placed on line at www.nrmca.informz.net/.
