Safety Rules &
Recommendations:
Æ This manual contains information and instructions on how to use
MEVA equipment in a safe and ecient manner. All construction
personnel involved with the use of this equipment (“User”) must be
familiar with the contents of this manual.
Æ The user is responsible for identifying and complying with all
applicable government regulations, codes, and ordinances in the use
of this equipment.
Æ MEVA equipment must be erected, used, and dismantled in
accordance with this manual, safe practices, and all applicable
industry standards developed and published by the American
Concrete Institute (ACI), the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA). Additional workplace safety precautions should be taken
where necessary.
Æ Most examples shown are standard applications that will occur in
practice most often. For applications not covered in this manual,
please contact your MEVA representative for advice.
Æ Many of the details in this manual show specific conditions and
situations during different stages of assembly and are therefore not
always complete. Any equipment or safety accessories not shown in
the details must still be used in accordance with all applicable rules
and regulations.
Æ In order to assure proper fit and load capacity, do not combine this
equipment with components of other manufacturers unless directed
by a MEVA representative.
Æ The user must inspect all equipment before each use. Never use
equipment that is damaged, deformed, or weakened due to wear or
corrosion.
Æ Never oil or wax MEVA assembly locks.
Æ The user must ensure the stability of all components during all
phases of construction.
Æ For gang formwork, the user should always establish the number
and location of lift points to equalize load on lift brackets and
ensure that no individual component is overloaded.
Æ It is the user’s responsibility to adjust the pour rate and placement
methods in accordance with ACI 347 for the concrete mixture and
the specific jobsite conditions at the time of placement so that the
specified maximum lateral concrete pressure is never exceeded.
Æ Certain applications will result in a maximum lateral concrete
pressure lower than the system panel capacity. Refer to specific
sections of this manual, MEVA application drawings, or consult your
MEVA representative.
Æ When stripping gang formwork, never use the crane to break the
concrete bond. Instead, use suitable tools such as pry bars or wood
wedges. Secure the lift brackets prior to removal of ties, anchors,
and/or bracing.
Æ Do not nail into aluminum panel frames.
