1. Overview of Concrete Pump Trucks
a. What is a Concrete Pump Truck?
A concrete pump truck is a specialized vehicle used for transporting and pumping concrete.
Concrete pump trucks come in various types, classified based on boom length, pumping capacity, and boom type.
- Boom length: The boom length of a concrete pump truck can range from 20 meters to 70 meters.
- Pumping capacity: The pumping capacity of a concrete pump truck can range from 20 m3/h to 100 m3/h.
- Boom type: There are two main types of booms: straight boom and articulated boom.
Concrete pump trucks are widely used in construction projects, especially high-rise buildings and bridges. They help transport and pump concrete to the desired location quickly and efficiently, saving both time and construction costs.
b. Operating Principle of Concrete Pump Trucks
The concrete pumping system includes the following components:
- Piston pump: The piston pump is the most commonly used pump on concrete pump trucks. It works by using pistons to compress and push concrete out of the hopper.
- Screw pump: The screw pump is less commonly used on concrete pump trucks. It operates by using screws to move concrete out of the hopper.
- Engine: The engine provides power to the concrete pumping system.
Boom system
The boom system consists of the following parts:
- Boom: The boom is the main component of the boom system. It is used to deliver concrete to the desired pouring location.
- Pump head: The pump head is attached to the boom. It transfers concrete from the boom to the pouring location.
- Hand pump: The hand pump is used to pump concrete when the main pumping system is malfunctioning.
Operating principle
When the concrete pump truck operates, the engine provides power to the pumping system. The pump compresses and pushes the concrete out of the hopper. The concrete is then conveyed through the boom to the pump head, where it is delivered to the designated location.
Concrete pumping steps
The steps for pumping concrete include:
- Pour concrete into the hopper: Concrete is loaded into the hopper using a concrete mixer truck or other means.
- Start the concrete pump truck: The truck’s engine is started.
- Pump concrete: Operate the pump to move concrete from the hopper to the pump head.
- Deliver concrete to the desired location: The boom is controlled to place concrete at the required site.
- Pour concrete: Concrete is poured into the designated area.
c. Industries Using Concrete Pump Trucks
Concrete pump trucks are widely used in various industries, including:
- Construction industry: Most commonly used in construction, especially high-rise buildings and bridges. They help transport and place concrete efficiently, saving time and costs.
- Industrial sector: Used in factories to pump concrete into molds.
- Agricultural sector: Used for pumping concrete into irrigation works and rural infrastructure.
2. Overview of Safety Training for Operating Concrete Pump Trucks
a. What is labor safety training?
- Labor safety training for operating concrete pump trucks equips workers with knowledge on preventing workplace accidents. Workers who directly operate concrete pump trucks belong to Group 3.
- Safety training helps workers identify hazards and avoid risks, reducing the likelihood of workplace accidents.

b. Training duration
Initial safety training duration:
- Total training time is at least 24 hours, including exams.
- 8 hours of theory on safety and labor hygiene policies and regulations
- 8 hours of theory on basic safety and labor hygiene knowledge
- 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
- 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
- 2 hours of final theoretical exam
The safety training center may divide the schedule into multiple sessions depending on the workers’ availability. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days if the company can arrange consecutive training hours.
Periodic safety training duration:
- Before the labor safety card expires, workers must complete a periodic safety training with at least 50% of the initial training duration.
Explanation: The total duration of periodic safety training is at least 12 hours, including exams. After successfully completing the training and passing the exam, workers will have their labor safety card renewed.

d. Labor safety card
After completing the training and passing the exam, workers will be issued a labor safety card (commonly known as the Group 3 safety certificate).
The Group 3 card shows personal information such as name, date of birth, job, and work environment. It also includes training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming completion.
According to regulations in Clause 2 of Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:
- If the worker has an employment contract with the employer, the employer must sign, stamp, and validate the card after training and passing the exam.
- If the worker is freelance or seasonal without a contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the card after the worker completes the training and passes the exam.
