<br />c <br /> <br />Cross Construction Services, Inc. <br />@ 2011 DEMOLITION SAFETY PLAN <br />CROSS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC. <br /> <br />5. The interior brickwork in some sections of industrial chimney shafts can be extremely weak. <br />If the stack has been banded with steel straps, these bands will be removed only as the <br />work progresses from the top down. <br /> <br />6. Sectioning of the chimney by water, etc. will be considered. <br /> <br />Safe work practices: <br /> <br />1. When hand demolition is required, it will be carried out from a working platform. <br /> <br />2. Experienced personnel will install a self-supporting tubular scaffold, suspended platform, or <br />knee-braced scaffolding around the chimney. <br /> <br />3. Particular attention will be paid to the design, support, and tie-in (braces) of the scaffold. <br /> <br />4. A competent person will be present at all times during the erection of the scaffold. <br /> <br />5. It is essential that there be adequate working clearance between the chimney and the work <br />platform. <br /> <br />6. Access to the top of the scaffold will be provided by means of portable walkways. <br /> <br />7. The platforms will be decked solid and the area from the work platform to wall bridged with a <br />minimum of two-inch thick lumber. <br /> <br />8. A top rail 42 inches above the platform, with a mid-rail covered with canvas or mesh will be <br />installed around the perimeter of the platform to prevent injury to workers below. Debris <br />netting will be installed below the platform. <br /> <br />9. Excess canvas or plywood attachments can form a wind-sail that could collapse the <br />scaffold. <br /> <br />10. When working on the work platform, all personnel will wear hard hats, long-sleeve shirts, <br />and eye and face protection, such as goggles and face shields, respirators, and safety belts, <br />as required. <br /> <br />11. Care will be taken to assign the proper number of workers to the task, <br /> <br />12. Too many people on a small work platform can lead to accidents. <br /> <br />c: <br /> <br />13. An alternative to the erection of a self-supporting tubular steel scaffold to "climb" the <br />structure will be a creeping bracket scaffold. <br /> <br />14 <br />
