Applies to establishments engaged in the manufacture of
				concrete blocks, bricks, poles, tiles, and beams. Sand, gravel, cement,
				cinders, aggregates, mesh wire, rods, and, in some cases, plastics are received
				from others. Raw materials are mixed with water and fed into molds or forming
				machines. Heavy mesh wire or rods may be inserted into the molds for strength.
				The formed products are usually steam dried and placed in the yard for curing
				prior to shipping. This classification does not apply to the manufacture of
