<br />"' <br /> <br />Cross Construction Services, Inc. <br />@ 2011 DEMOLITION SAFETY PLAN <br />CROSS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES. INC. <br /> <br />11. Any space between the chute and the edge of openings in the floors through which it <br />passes will be solidly covered over. <br /> <br />12. Where the material is dumped from mechanical equipment or wheelbarrows, a securely <br />attached toe board or bumper, not less than 4 inches thick and 6 inches high, will be <br />provided at each chute opening. <br /> <br />13. Chutes will be designed and constructed of such strength as to eliminate failure due to <br />impact of materials or debris loaded therein. <br /> <br />14. Except for the cutting of holes in floors for chutes, holes through which to drop materials, <br />preparation of storage space, and similar necessary preparatory work, the demolition of <br />exterior walls and floor construction will begin at the top of the structure and proceed <br />downward. <br /> <br />15. Each story of exterior wall and floor construction will be removed and dropped into the <br />storage space before commencing the removal of exterior walls and floors in the story <br />next below. <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />16. Employee entrances to multistory structures being demolished will be completely protected <br />by sidewalk sheds or canopies, or both, providing protection from the face of the <br />building for a minimum of 8 feet. <br /> <br />17. All such canopies will be at least 2 feet wider than the building entrances or openings (1 <br />foot wider on each side thereof), and will be capable of sustaining a load of 150 pounds <br />per square foot. <br /> <br />9. REMOVAL OF MATERIALS AND SECTIONS <br /> <br />1. Any openings cut in a floor for the disposal of materials will be no larger in size than 25 <br />percent of the aggregate of the total floor area, unless the lateral supports of the <br />removed flooring remain in place. <br /> <br />2. Floors weakened or otherwise made unsafe by demolition operations will be shored to carry <br />safely the intended imposed load from demolition operations. <br /> <br />3. Masonry walls, or other sections of masonry, will not be permitted to fall upon the floors of <br />the building in such masses as to exceed the safe carrying capacities of the floors. <br /> <br />4. No wall section, which is more than one story in height, will be permitted to stand-alone <br />without lateral bracing, unless such wall was originally designed and constructed to <br />stand without such lateral support, and is in a condition safe enough to be self- <br />supporting. <br /> <br />5. All walls will be left in a stable condition at the end of each shift. <br /> <br />10 <br />
