Masonry and plaster: materials, mixers and exposure

Materials, mixers, temporary power and work platforms often move during masonry and plaster work. A checklist must reflect the current work area.

Illustrative site situation

Illustrative situation: a mortar mixer is moved into a hallway and its cable crosses the pedestrian route. Check both electrical safety and movement, not merely whether the mixer runs.
