Precast Concrete Erection
Construction · Ver en español
Talking points
- Temporary bracing for precast elements must be designed by a Professional Engineer and installed before the crane releases the piece.
- Use tag lines to control the load during placement. Never stand between a precast element and a fixed object during positioning.
- Inspect all rigging hardware — lifting inserts, coil bolts, anchors — before each lift. Hardware must match the element weight and configuration.
- Fall protection is required for erection crews working at height. Plan anchorage points before the pieces are placed, not after.
- No workers may be under a suspended precast element at any time. Barricade the drop zone and the swing radius.
Ask the crew
Has the engineer's bracing plan been reviewed for today's picks — and are all rigging inserts inspected?

A toolbox talk is a short safety briefing. It supports the training a standard requires; it does not replace it.
