- Keep hands away from leaks; stop and isolate before checking a suspected leak
- 2
Grout hose whip when a blocked line releases
High- Secure delivery couplings and fit hose restraints suited to the pumping system

- 5
Fingers caught in grout mixer paddles
High- Keep hopper grilles and mixer guards in place during operation
- Lock out the mixer and pump before reaching in for cleaning
