Demolition Safety-Rev

Planning is crucial for safe demolition. A demolition plan should identify hazards, equipment needs, and disposal methods. Key areas for planning include the structure's type and condition, hazards, and adjoining areas. Demolition techniques include sequential, induced, and explosive methods. Safety rules require supervision, barricades, signage, and descending floor-by-floor demolition. Hazards include falls, impacts, manual handling, hazardous materials, noise, electric shock, and equipment.

SAFE DEMOLITION REQUIRES ADEQUATE
PLANNING
Key Areas for Planning

Type of Construction
Type of Structure (Ht., Use)
State of Structure
Structural Hazards
Hazardous Substances
Location of Services
General Conditions of Adjoining Structures
Access and Egress
Suitability of Site for Equipment
DEMOLITION TECHNIQUE

Sequential – gradual reduction of


height in reverse order to its
construction

Induced – key structural


members are weakened or removed,
causing the whole part of the
structure to collapse
METHODS OF DEMOLITION

1. Manual – use of hand held tools.


METHODS OF DEMOLITION

2. Mechanical – use of heavy equipment, wires and chain,


power shear, etc.
METHODS OF DEMOLITION

3. Explosives – use of explosives


RULE 1417 - 1418: DEMOLITION
1. Structures over 6m high must be under the
supervision of a competent person
2. The area is strictly for demolition workers only
(Demolition area - w/in a distance equal to 1.5 x H
of structure)
3. If the above distance is not possible, the
structure shall be fenced around
4. Danger signs should be posted around the
structure
5. Ensure all electrical services are cut-off
RULE 1417 - 1418: DEMOLITION

7. Demolition should proceed storey by storey,


in a descending order; work on the upper floors
should be completely over before removing the
supporting members on the lower floor
8. No part of the structure shall be overloaded
w/ debris or mat’ls.
9. Stairs (incl. railings), passageways & ladders
should be demolished last
