<br />c <br /> <br />Cross Construction Services, Inc. <br />@ 2011 DEMOLITION SAFETY PLAN <br />CROSS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC. <br /> <br />1. DEMOLITION SAFETY PLAN <br /> <br />1. Demolition work involves many of the hazards associated with construction. <br /> <br />2. However, demolition incurs additional hazards due to unknown factors such as: deviations <br />from the structure's design introduced during construction, approved or unapproved <br />modifications that altered the original design, materials hidden within structural <br />members, and unknown strengths or weaknesses of construction materials. <br /> <br />3. To counter these unknowns, all personnel involved in a demolition project will be fully aware <br />of these types of hazards and the safety precautions to take to control the hazards. <br /> <br />2. DEMOLITION SAFETY PROCEDURES <br /> <br />1. Before the start of every demolition job, Cross Construction Services, Inc. will take a number <br />of steps to safeguard the health and safety of workers at the job site. <br /> <br />C 2. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, including <br />the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment necessary to do the <br />job, and the measures to be taken to perform the work safely. <br /> <br />3. Planning for a demolition job is as important as actually doing the work. Therefore, a <br />competent person experienced in all phases of the demolition work to be performed will <br />perform all planning work. <br /> <br />3. DEMOLITION ENGINEERING SURVEY <br /> <br />1. Prior to starting all demolition operations, OSHA Standard 1926.850(a) requires that a <br />competent person will conduct an engineering survey of the structure. <br /> <br />2. The purpose of this survey is to determine the condition of the framing, floors, and walls so <br />that measures can be taken, if necessary, to prevent the premature collapse of any <br />portion of the structure. <br /> <br />3. When indicated as advisable, any adjacent structure(s) or improvements will also be <br />similarly checked. <br /> <br />4. Cross Construction Services, Inc. will maintain a written copy of this survey. <br /> <br />G <br /> <br />5. Photographing existing damage in neighboring structures will also take place by the <br />competent designated person. <br /> <br />3 <br />
