Demolition Safety Tips

The hazards of demolition work can be controlled and eliminated with the proper planning, the right personal protective equipment, necessary training, and compliance with OSHA standards. To avoid injuries and an unsafe work environment, it’s important to follow strict procedures and protocols.

Temporary Fencing

Temporary fencing is an alternative to its permanent counterpart when a fence is required. It is a must have when doing an exterior demolition! We use temporary fencing to secure the job site, making sure no one enters and avoid debris from leaving the site. The first rule of demolition is safety first!

Personal Protective Equipment

There are 4 types of personal protective equipment (PPE)

  • Respiratory protection – face masks, etc.
  • Eye protection – goggles, shields, visors.
  • Hearing protection – ear muffs and plugs.
  • Hand protection – gloves

The other main important piece of safety equipment aside from Safety Glasses, Ear Plugs, Safety Masks and Gloves is hard hats. Hard hats must be worn on job sites at all times! The head must always stay protected from falling debris or unexpected mishaps.

Work Boots

Work boots must be worn to enter a demolition job site. These boots have a steel toe which protects the feet in case anything falls. The bottom of these shoes are usually composed of strong material that can withstand nails and other sharp objects that can be stepped on at any time. Work boots and long pants to protect the legs are extremely important to stay safe and abide by OSHA standards.

Construction Work Shirts

As you notice from all of our pictures, our company work shirts have long sleeves and built in sun protection. The long sleeves protect our demolition workers arms from debris and sun exposure. Never underestimate the damage the sun can do when working outside all day! Florida sun is very dangerous, so sunscreen and work shirts are required!

Safety Summary

Demolition work can be very dangerous if not done correctly. Without taking the necessary measures to ensure a safe staff, you can end up with many problems. The most important part to completing a demolition job is making sure everyone is safe!

The Stages of Our Interior Demolition Service

Not all demolition projects involve a wrecking ball or massive crumbling buildings. Actually, the majority of demolition projects take place inside making it an interior demolition.

At Demo Boyzz, our interior demolition can be applied to residential and commercial projects. Our demolition services list out the phases of your project so you know exactly what to expect.

The Interior Demolition Plan

Every interior demolition project is different from one another. That is why we dedicate ample time into planning your demolition project. We are a professional demolition company that ensures your job is done safely and efficiently.

We draft a blueprint of the new layout by going over the past history of the building. That includes questions such as:

  • When was it built?
  • What renovations have been done?
  • Has there been any flooding, leaks, or cracks?

Once we handle these questions, we will have the green light to get your interior demolition project started.

Preparation

Our team of professional demolition contractors ensure no serious injuries or unwanted structural damages occur.

All rooms that are undergoing renovations are sealed off for protection. Treatment for asbestos and mold remediation is handled during this time.

Asbestos and mold can cause serious health issues and can easily spread throughout the structure of the place.

Demolition

Interior demolition does not deal with the exterior structure. However,  it still includes a variety of different parts and materials that need to be removed such as:

  • Drywall
  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Wooden Floors
  • Cement Slabs

How long this stage takes in your demolition project depends on a few factors including:

  • How large the area is
  • Type of material being removed
  • How many rooms
  • Whether or not there has been mold or asbestos
