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.
