Health and safety is vitally important to anyone who works in public places or in ways that can affect those around them. It is especially important in the world of demolition as the impacts can often be extreme.
When dismantling dangerous or dilapidated buildings and structures, it is important to protect not only the workers on site, but also any one who happens to be near by. It isn't possible to equip every member of the public who might come into contact with a demolition site with a hard hat, high visibility vest, steel toe-capped boots etc, so instead, the demolition company has to make sure that any demolition that is happening in either a built up area or near existing housing etc is adequately shielded from any potential danger.
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.
It is often difficult to perform demolition in built up areas. This is because of power lines and phone lines which are difficult to keep clear of. This can often cause disruption to the lives of the local residents as sometimes the only way to get the equipment on site is to disconnect the phone lines. - 30228
