OSHA 1926 · SUBPART Q · ACPA · DAILY PRE-OPERATION

Concrete pump inspection software
for the daily pre-operation check.

Replace the paper clipboard with a mobile, OSHA-mapped, photo-documented daily pre-op for boom pumps, line/trailer pumps, and placing booms — hopper, pipeline and couplings, outriggers and ground bearing, before every pour.

Built around 1926.702(e).

Most inspection apps hand you a blank form builder. DigiDocs ships the actual concrete pump pre-op checklist — hopper and grates, delivery pipeline and couplings, outriggers and ground bearing, hydraulics, and boom — with the daily pre-operation cadence and a red-tag workflow that matches how a pump is actually cleared before a pour.

OSHA 1926.702(e) pump template

Hopper and grates, delivery pipeline and couplings, outriggers and ground bearing, hydraulics, and the boom — each section maps to the concrete pumping-system standard so the operator sees the requirement, not a blank checkbox. Covers boom pumps, line/trailer pumps, and separate placing booms.

Daily pre-op cadence

The ACPA daily pre-operation inspection out of the box: schedule the pre-op per pump so a missed or overdue check before the first pour surfaces as upcoming or overdue on the dashboard — every truck, every line pump, every placing boom on the job.

Photo capture on defects

Attach photos to any failed item — a worn delivery hose, a cracked coupling clamp, a damaged hopper grate, a hydraulic leak under the chassis. Voice and video notes capture context that doesn't fit a comment box and follow the pump into the deficiency record for review.

Red-tag on a failed safety item

Fail a pipeline, coupling, hopper-grate, or boom safety item and the operator can take the pump out of service immediately. It's red-tagged across the fleet, a deficiency logs with the photo evidence, and the pump stays locked until the fix is verified on a re-inspection.

Audit-trail PDFs + share links

Every pre-op becomes a PDF with the operator's name, timestamp, photos, and the OSHA citation referenced. Generate a revocable share link so a GC, insurer, or safety officer can view the pump records without an account.

Asset history per pump

Each pump is an asset with its own ID, location, and inspection history. Health scoring blends pass-rate, open deficiencies, and overdue pre-ops so you can see which units keep failing before a coupling lets go on a job.

Installable PWA / Works offline

Installable PWA that opens without signal and caches recently-viewed inspect routes. No coverage on a remote pour site? The operator completes and submits the full pre-op offline — it saves on the device, photos included, and syncs automatically when you reconnect.

API + webhooks ready

A public REST API at /api/v1 with bearer-token auth and outbound webhooks for inspection-completed and deficiency-opened events, so pump pre-op records flow into your existing safety or dispatch system.

PROCESS · 4 STEPS

Paper clipboard to audit-ready record.

01STEP · 01

Add the pump

Register each pump as an asset with its location and type. The right OSHA 1926.702(e) template loads automatically so the operator isn't hunting for the form.

02STEP · 02

Pre-op before the pour

The operator runs the daily pre-op on a phone — Pass / Fail / N/A per item, photo capture on defects, signature, submit. Hopper to boom in under two minutes, before the first pour.

03STEP · 03

Fail takes it out of service

Hit a pipeline, coupling, hopper-grate, or boom failure and take the pump out of service on the spot. It's red-tagged across the fleet and a deficiency logs with the photo evidence.

04STEP · 04

Audit-ready PDF

The pre-op becomes a PDF with the operator, timestamp, photos, and the OSHA citation. Daily records are retained indefinitely for the next audit or insurer request.

FAQ · BEFORE YOU ASK

Frequently asked.

01

What does OSHA require for concrete pump inspections?

OSHA 1926.702(e) covers concrete pumping systems — it requires that the boom of a pump be braced or otherwise secured to prevent uncontrolled movement, that sections of pump pipeline be secured against accidental disconnection, and that the system be operated within the manufacturer's safe working limits. The ACPA (American Concrete Pumping Association) recommends a documented daily pre-operation inspection before the first pour of the day. DigiDocs ships a concrete pump pre-op template modeled on 1926.702(e) covering the hopper and grates, delivery pipeline and couplings, outriggers and ground bearing, hydraulics, and boom — so the operator works through the standard, not a blank form.

02

What's the difference between a boom pump and a line/trailer pump inspection?

A truck-mounted boom pump adds a hydraulically articulated boom, outriggers, and a chassis to the inspection — the pre-op covers outrigger pads and ground bearing, boom pin and hose security, the remote, and the truck-side walkaround on top of the pumping system itself. A trailer or line (stationary) pump skips the boom and chassis but still needs the full pumping-system check — hopper and grates, delivery pipeline and couplings, hydraulic pressure, and the placing line routing. DigiDocs loads the correct template per asset so each pump type runs only the steps that apply to it.

03

How do the outrigger and ground-bearing set-up checks work?

Before a boom pump can deploy, the operator confirms the outriggers are fully extended and pinned, the pads are seated on adequate cribbing, and the ground bearing capacity supports the loaded outrigger reactions — the most common cause of a pump tip-over is inadequate ground support. The DigiDocs pre-op includes a dedicated outrigger and ground-bearing step run at each setup, with photo capture so the operator can document the cribbing and the pad placement on the actual pour site.

04

What pipeline, coupling, and hopper-grate checks are included?

The delivery pipeline is checked before each pour for wall-thickness wear, secure couplings and snap clamps, intact safety pins, and properly seated gaskets — a failed coupling under line pressure is a known struck-by hazard. The hopper section covers the grate (which must be in place and undamaged so a hand can't reach the agitator or pumping cylinders), the agitator and remixer, and the suction/relief flow. DigiDocs maps each of these to the form so the operator confirms the pipeline and hopper guarding before the system is pressurized.

05

Does it work on a phone, offline?

Yes. The inspection runs in the browser or as an installable PWA on any phone or tablet — no app-store download. It works fully offline: the operator completes and submits the entire daily pre-op with no signal — it saves on the device, photos included, and syncs automatically when you reconnect. A pour site with no coverage doesn't stop the pre-op from being recorded.
