The core responsibility of a demolition worker is to safely and efficiently dismantle structures, ensuring the site is prepared for future construction or other purposes. This involves more than just tearing down buildings; it includes careful planning, operating heavy machinery, adhering to safety regulations, and managing debris.
Demolition workers assess the structure, identify potential hazards (like asbestos), and develop a demolition plan.
They prepare the site, ensuring safety measures like barriers and dust control are in place.
This may involve cutting apart structural components, removing materials like brick, timber, and concrete, and sorting materials for recycling or disposal. ETC.
