PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Demolition and rigging workers need to have proper protection to ensure their safety and the safety of the job site. To provide that protection workers utilize PPE. Personal Protective Equipment, (PPE) can prevent employees from potential hazards associatedwith their workplace. The minimum required PPE on a demolition or rigging project consists of the following items:

Hardhat
Safety Glasses
High Visibility Safety Vests
Leather Palmed Work Gloves
Work Boots

Depending on the project site and task being performed additional PPE may be required. The site supervisors evaluate the work task and perform hazard assessments to identify if additional PPE is required and to confirm that the appropriate personal protective equipment is being utilized to perform the work task at hand.

Examples of some work that would require additional protective equipment are as follows:

Work to be performed in a man lift or if a worker is 6’ from an edge would require a safety harness that is attached to a retractable. This would allow the employee to work safely and be 100% tied off at all times. If a worker is performing work utilizing a grinder or demo saw he would wear a face shield to ensure face protection and ear plugs for hearing protection.

The site supervisor trains or provides training to all employees to ensure they are familiar with the proper utilization of PPE and to ensure applicable safety procedures are followed.

Project Schedules

Project schedules are a essential document for project planning and are utilized to successfully perform demolition, dismantling and any other type of work in the industry.

Prior to the start of work the estimator, project manager and scheduler will meet and list key task / activity items. Each task will have a duration associated with it, showing a estimated start and completion date. While developing the schedule many variables will come into play.

· Original estimated durations for each activity
· Milestones
· Manpower
· Equipment
· Resource Availability
· Weather
· Overlapping tasks
· Customers needs

Taking into account the above variables will allow the scheduler to develop a accurate and realistic schedule. Once the schedule is complete the key managers will meet, review and finalize.

In order for a schedule to be a useful tool it must be updated weekly and discussed with the manager on site to make sure that the durations and goals are obtainable. While performing work there is possibilites that you will run into unforseen delays. Example of unforeseen delays are changes in the original scope of work, weather, equipment breakdowns and overall site conditions changing.

Schedules are utilized on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis depending on the needs of each individual project. It is also helpful to perform two week look-aheads for site workers to make them aware and informed of  the project goals. Employees can give there input and explain to  management if there are additional variables that might effect completion dates.

The development of a project schedule is a important part for completing projects within estimated budgets and timeframes.
