Cement mixer Risk Assessment

A comprehensive Risk Assessment for petrol or electric cement mixers highlights potential risks and control measures to reduce the likelihood of injury.

A cement mixer, also known as a concrete mixer, is a vital piece of machinery utilised in the construction industry to blend cement, sand, gravel, and water into a uniform and workable mixture of concrete or mortar. This machine operates on a rotating drum that facilitates thorough mixing, ensuring an even distribution of all components. The efficiency of a cement mixer significantly surpasses that of manual mixing, as it not only speeds up the process but also achieves a more consistent mixture, which is crucial for the integrity and durability of the final product. Cement mixers come in various sizes and models, ranging from small, portable mixers suitable for home projects to large, truck-mounted mixers designed for extensive construction sites. This versatility makes them essential for a diverse range of projects, from residential buildings to major infrastructure developments.
