We live in a word where health and safety are of vital importance to anyone working in a public place, or working in such a way that it affects those around them. This is especially relevant to the world of demolition as the impact on the surroundings is often extreme.
It is important when dismantling dangerous or dilapidated buildings and structures to protect everyone that is in contact with the area. This includes the workers on the site and the public that are near by. To protect the public the demolition company need to make sure that the area is adequately shielded from any danger. Workers must wear hard hats, high visibility vests, steel toe capped boots etc.
Often in built up areas, a building will be dismantled by hand rather than using machines. Whilst this is more expensive for the contractor, it is sometimes the only way to dismantle the building safely within the existing environment. While machine demolition is more effective, there is less control over where parts of the building will fall. The extreme of this is with explosive demolition where on occasion a building will fall somewhere other than the designated drop zone.
Demolition is often rather dangerous as the structures that are being demolished are often unstable. Therefore it is the job of skilled experts to reduce the risks to the public. This is so they can continue with their everyday life without disruption. Companies now have to wet the building before demolition. This reduces the dust creation and works effectively to control dust generation, however this method will not eliminate the dust completely.
Performing demolition in built up areas is often difficult, as machinery needs to negotiate the power lines and phone lines. This machinery can often interrupt the lives of local residents as their phones are often needed to be disconnected to allow the equipment to enter the demolition site.
