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 to protect workers and those who are nearby during the demolition process; this includes workers wearing a hard hat, a high visibility vest, steel toe capped boots etc. It is not possible to equip each member of the public that is near to the demolition site with such safety equipment so the demolition company needs to make sure that if the site is in a built up area or near to houses etc that these are shielded from any danger that might occur.
In built up areas buildings are often dismantled by hand. This is often the safest way within the existing environment to dismantle a building but the most expensive for the contractor. Although using a machine for the demolition is more effective there is less control over where parts of the building can fall. In extreme cases of explosive demolition a building can fall out of 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.
Demolition can be difficult to perform in built up areas, as often they will need to negotiate power lines and phone lines with large equipment which will disrupt the lives of local residents as often the only way to get equipment to site is to disconnect the phone lines.
