Description:... Post-tensioning and grouting operations can be dangerous if the required care is not taken in planning, in site preparations and in execution. For prestressed concrete a good working environment is also a prerequisite for high quality. Many accidents in this type of work may be attributed to a lack of training, poor supervision, poor planning or over-familiarity with the process. This guide to good practice highlights important safety measures which are particularly applicable to prestressed concrete, dealing with precautions necessary for post-tensioning and grouting operations on site.
