History: Shotcrete's Most Valuable Safety Resource
By Oscar Duckworth
It is said that history tends to repeat itself. Similarly, shotcrete placement-related hazards that lead to injuries tend to
repeat themselves.
History is the world’s greatest educator. Unfortunately, due to the rapid growth of shotcrete placement, workers with a long history in the craft are rapidly being replaced by relatively new workers who may not recognize past hazards.
