3305.3.3.1 Inspection by contractor.
BC § 3305.3.3.1
Formwork, including shores, reshores, braces and other supports, shall be inspected prior to placement of reinforcing steel to verify the adequacy and proper installation of the formwork, and where construction documents and form design drawings are provided, that the formwork conforms to the construction documents and form design drawings. Subsequently, during and after concreting, periodic inspections shall be performed to detect incipient problems, and the elevations, camber, and vertical alignment of formwork systems shall be inspected using tell-tale devices. Such inspections shall be performed by a qualified person designated by the contractor; nothing shall prohibit the concrete safety manager from performing such inspection where so designated. The results of such inspections shall be documented in an inspection report signed and dated by the qualified person who performed the inspection. The names of the persons responsible for such inspections and the foreman in charge of the formwork shall be posted in the field office.
