Construction
A safe practice for formwork during construction at site is important for safety of
workmen. Improper erection of formwork can cause damage to structural element
as well as pose threat to the safety of workmen.
Following are the safe practices checklist for formwork:
Formwork Safety Checklist during Design:

1. Formwork should be properly designed for the structural element considered and
its working drawing should be available at site.
2. Design of formwork should consider all the loads it will experience during casting
of concrete structural members.
3. Strength of materials used for formwork should be adequate to support

structural load as well as other loads imposed on it.
4. Formwork design should indicate the rate of concrete pour, height of concrete
pour, temperature and sequence and schedule of concrete pours.
5. Working drawing of formwork should have detailed dimensions including pouring

pocket size, compaction opening and cleanouts.
6. Formwork design should consider the safe bearing capacity of soil.

Formwork Safety Checklist during Construction:
Following inspection should be carried out before starting the concreting of
structural member:
1. Inspection of entire formwork system for details from bottom to top of formwork
for proper load transfer in safe manner.
2. Inspection of working scaffolds, ladders, runways, ramps and crossings.
3. Maintenance of good housekeeping around working area and passage.
4. Guarding of peripheral edges and floor openings.
5. Adequate space for safe working.

6. Safety training of workmen involved in formwork and concreting works.
7. Use of all personal protective equipment (PPEs).
8. Formwork, rigging inserts and connections checked for correct installation and
periodically checked for wear and correct position.
9. Removal of all unused and hanging forms, loose materials etc. stored on
exposed floors.
10. Inspection of all props and shores for adequacy to handle all the loads.
11. Removal of defective props.

12. Alignment of props

14. Props should be placed on hard bearing surface.
15. Safe nailing and firm locking of clamps on adjustable props.
16. Lateral stability of formwork and complete fixity at the joint between props
when one prop is placed on the top of the other.
17. Proper bearing below the stringers and joists at points of supports.
18. De-shuttering and removal of props below concrete slabs and beams after

development of adequate strength in concrete.
19. Construction loads not placed on freshly cast slab or beams while removal of
formwork or before concrete attaining required strength.
There can be many more checklists for formwork which has not been written here.
