Concrete and Masonry

Concrete and masonry operations involve formwork collapse, premature stripping, silica exposure from cutting, impalement on rebar, and wall blow-outs during pours. This elective covers 29 CFR 1926 Subpart Q requirements for formwork design, shoring, post-tensioning, precast erection, and masonry wall bracing — all from the supervisor's perspective of planning, inspecting, and stopping work when conditions change.
