The American Concrete Pumping Association and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association announced a new partnership under the We Are Safer Together Coalition, an industrywide campaign aimed at reducing accidents and injuries on concrete pump job sites. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in advancing job site safety through heightened awareness of the ASME B30.27-2025 safety standard for Material Placement Systems — which, when followed, elevates safety for all trades working on concrete pumping jobs.
The partnership follows ASME B30.27’s late 2025 update, which introduced critical clarifications to address compliance concerns raised by ready mixed concrete producers. These updates were the result of a cooperative effort between the ASME B30.27 committee and NRMCA to refine language in the standard, ensuring it is both practical and effective for all stakeholders.
Key updates in ASME B30.27-2025
ASME B30.27 is intended to prevent or minimize injuries to workers and protect life, limb and property by prescribing safety requirements. It provides direction to manufacturers, owners, employers, users and other stakeholders, while also serving as a guide for governments and other regulatory bodies in developing, promulgating and enforcing appropriate safety directives.
