Occupational Safety Training for Mortar Pump Operation

1. Overview of Grout Pumps

a. What is a Grout Pump?

A grout pump is a device used in construction and industry to pump grout, adhesives, or other liquids from one location to another through pipelines. Grout is a liquid or powder mixture used to fill gaps, secure, and connect steel components, concrete structures, or for other construction applications.

Grout pumps are commonly used for tasks such as:

• Filling gaps and voids in concrete structures to reinforce and ensure uniformity of the structure.
• Filling holes, cracks, or cavities in construction works to create a smooth and complete surface.
• Bonding tiles, bricks, stones, or decorative masonry onto surfaces.

Grout pumps are usually designed to handle materials that are liquid when applied and harden after setting, ensuring the strength and uniformity of construction structures.

b. Operating principle of a grout pump

The operating principle of a grout pump is based on generating pressure to push the liquid (grout) from one point to another through pipelines. Key steps in the operation include:

• Feeding: Grout or liquid is prepared in a container or mixing tank. Typically, grout is a mixture of sand, cement, and water, combined in specific ratios to achieve the required properties for the application.
• Pumping: The grout pump is activated, using a system of pistons or channels to generate pressure, which is maintained throughout the pipeline.
• Grout Delivery: The liquid is pushed from the pump through the pipeline to the desired location, such as gaps, voids, or surfaces needing coverage.
• Flow Control: Grout pumps usually have switches or valves to adjust the flow, allowing operators to control the amount delivered according to the job requirements.
• Quality Control: During pumping, quality control ensures the grout meets requirements for consistency, adhesion, and structural integrity.
• Completion: After the grout reaches the target location, the pump is stopped. This step is crucial for quality control and material efficiency.

c. Industries using grout pumps

Grout pumps are used across various industries, including:

• Construction: Filling gaps in concrete structures, reinforcing columns, foundations, and other structural elements for strength and uniformity.
• Mining and Drilling: Pumping grout or adhesives into drill holes to stabilize or bind soil and rock, preventing leakage and ensuring structural stability.
• Oil and Gas: Delivering grout or other liquids to create protective or corrosion-resistant structures within pipelines and infrastructure.
• Chemical Industry: Transferring chemical liquids from storage tanks to production equipment or application points.
• Maintenance and Repair: Public infrastructure repair such as bridges, dams, and seawalls, using grout to fix structural damage caused by time or environmental factors.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Pouring grout into molds to form metal or plastic parts, or for engine and chassis component production.

2. Overview of Labor Safety Training for Operating Grout Pumps

a. What is Labor Safety Training?

• Labor safety training for operating grout pumps consists of sessions that raise awareness on preventing workplace accidents. Workers directly operating grout pumps belong to Group 3.
• Safety training helps workers recognize hazards and avoid risks, reducing workplace accidents.

b. Training duration

Initial safety training duration:

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including exams.
• 8 hours theory on labor safety policies and laws
• 8 hours theory on basic labor safety knowledge
• 4 hours theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours practical training on specialized content
• 2 hours theoretical exam at the end of the course

The safety training center divides the course into multiple sessions depending on workers’ schedules, typically 6 sessions over 3 days if the company arranges continuous training.

Periodic safety training:

• Before the labor safety card expires, workers must undergo periodic safety training with at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: Total periodic training is at least 12 hours, including exams. After passing the course and exam, the labor safety card is reissued and extended.

d. Labor Safety Card

After completing the labor safety training and passing the exam, workers will be issued a labor safety card (commonly called a Group 3 labor safety certificate).

The card shows personal information: full name, date of birth, job, and work environment, along with training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming completion.

According to Article 24, Clause 2 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must stamp and sign the safety card after the employee completes training and passes the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal, without a labor contract, the training unit must stamp and sign the safety card after completion and passing the exam.

3. Hazards When Operating a Plastering Pump

Operating a plastering pump can involve various hazards that must be carefully managed to ensure the safety of workers and equipment. Here are some common hazards when operating a plastering pump:

• High pressure: Plastering pumps generate high pressure to push fluids, and this pressure can cause injuries if not properly managed. Hazards include tank or pipeline bursts if the pressure is too high, as well as risks to workers from pressurized liquid spray.
• Jamming and tipping: Plastering pumps are heavy and may jam or tip if not placed and operated on firm, flat, and stable ground. A jammed or tipped pump can cause injuries and damage the machine.
• Electric shock: On construction sites and in mining environments, there is a risk of electric shock if the pump operates near electrical sources. This can cause injury or dangerous situations.
• Exposure to hazardous liquids: If the pump is used for hazardous liquids or chemicals, exposure may harm workers’ health. Safety measures and appropriate protective equipment are required.
• Fire: Operating a plastering pump near open flames or flammable fuels can create a fire risk. Proper management of flammable materials and safe pump operation are essential to avoid hazards.
• Lack of machine knowledge: Using a plastering pump without understanding its operation, maintenance, and repair can lead to injuries and equipment damage.

4. Occupational Accident Control Measures When Operating a Plastering Pump

Controlling occupational accidents when operating a plastering pump is an essential part of a safe working process. Here are some measures for accident control when working with a plastering pump:

• Training and education: Ensure all personnel working with the pump are trained and understand how to operate it safely. They should know how to control the pump, manage pressure, and respond to hazardous situations.
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE): Ensure all personnel are equipped with PPE, including helmets, safety glasses, gloves, safety boots, and protective clothing. PPE protects workers from spray, injuries, and other hazards.
• Regular inspection and maintenance: Plastering pumps should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure safe and efficient operation. Any technical faults must be repaired immediately.
• Pressure management: The pump’s pressure must be carefully controlled according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Always monitor pressure and do not exceed safety limits.
• Hazardous liquid management: If pumping hazardous liquids or chemicals, follow specific rules and guidelines to ensure safety during operation and waste handling.
• Work environment management: Ensure the working environment is safe and clean, eliminating risks of slips or accidents caused by unsafe conditions.
• Compliance with regulations and instructions: Follow all safety regulations and manufacturer guidelines for the plastering pump.
• Pre- and post-operation safety checks: Perform safety checks before starting and after completing work to ensure the pump operates correctly and there are no incidents.
• Periodic inspection of the plastering pump to detect safety issues such as wear, damage, or mechanical faults, thereby reducing the risk of occupational accidents.
