Pipe, Conduit, and Cylindrical Material
Make sure cylindrical materials are stable when storing or handling.
- Stacking: Place pipe, conduit bar stock, and other cylindrical materials in racks or stack and block them on a firm, level surface to prevent spreading, rolling, or falling. Use either a pyramided or battened stack. Step back battened stacks at least one unit per tier and securely chock them on both sides of the stack.
- Removal: Remove round stock (e.g., wood poles, pipe, and conduit) from a stack from the ends of the stock.
- Unloading: Unload carriers so that employees are not exposed to the unsecured load.
- Taglines: Use taglines when working with round stock.
Sand, Gravel, and Crushed Stone
- Locate stockpiles to provide safe access for withdrawing material. Material or vertical faces must not overhang.
- Store material against walls or partitions only in an amount that will not endanger the stability of the wall or partition.
