Demolition Safety Tips

From removing a single, non-weight bearing wall to demo-ing an entire wing of a home, there are many important safety measures that should always be taken no matter the size of the job. Nearly all demolitions should be completed by licensed and insured professionals who have a proven track record of success. Follow along this month as we list out several incredibly crucial safety tips for those hoping to complete a demolition.

Important Safety Gear

  • Hard hat
  • Eye protection
  • Work gloves
  • Ear Protection
  • Work Boots
  • Respirator

Preparing for Demolition

  • Turn off all utilities including electric, gas, water, steam, sewer, and other service lines. Always notify the appropriate utility companies of your plans in advance.
  • Illuminate any areas that have poor lighting
  • Ensure that bystanders and other workers are at a safe distance before tearing anything down.

Cleanup

Wearing a respirator during and after a demolition is crucial as all types of dangerous airborne chemicals can be floating around. Hazards such as asbestos, led based paint, and harmful gases could be hiding in plain sight.

A cleaner demolition site leads to fewer injuries and accidents. Keep the area clean by removing debris consistently throughout the project instead of waiting until the end. Properly dispose of any hazardous debris to ensure the most eco-friendly demolition possible.

What Happens After a Demolition?

A demolition is a partial or complete removal of a structure. Dramatized scenes of demolitions portrayed in the entertainment industry have led many people to have all types of preconceived ideas about them. To learn more about the common myths and misconceptions about demolition, check out our related blog post here or follow along below as we discuss the work that takes place after a demolition has been completed.

Waste Management

While modern demolition techniques are significantly more controlled than traditional ones, there’s no getting around the huge amounts of debris left behind. The first step after a successful demolition is to properly and appropriately remove the debris from the site and its surrounding environment. Not only does this step prepare the site for excavation, it works to benefit the environment as well. A great waste management service should be able to remove all types of debris from bricks and glass to scrap metal and wood.

Excavation

Excavating a site means removing any unnecessary rocks and dirt in order to prepare for new construction. While it may seem as though excavation is simply superficial work, it is also in fact responsible for carrying out a large number of other vital duties as well. From grading and leveling the site to digging trenches and removing contaminated soil, quality excavation services are an invaluable resource in the construction industry.

Innovation

When it’s officially time to retire a structure, it’s because something better, stronger, and more innovative is on the horizon. Excavation paves the way for future innovation by preparing construction sites for brilliant architects, designers, and construction workers to transform them into something new. Excavation teams work very closely with construction teams to ensure that all necessary adaptations and grading requirements have been adequately satisfied.
