demolition

I have worked on numerous Demolition jobs in the past   two I remember was the Karen Walker shop in Newmarket and at the University of Auckland marine biology new build in Leigh. (Dismantling old toilet blocks) At both jobs I secured the perimeter by putting up danger tape. 


The work was not notifiable because: 


There was no drop risk


There was no asbestos present


We did not have to erect or take down scaffold.


Or we did not have to use Oxygen.


Once the site was taped off, and out of bounds I proceeded by removing the roof first,  I  made sure there was no fall risk and used props if needed I also  put effort into making sure I had an empty skip bin and I was not leaving nails out or any sharp objects. I used a sabre saw, a pry bar and a sledge hammer to remove walls in a safe manner. Getting help to lift and remove material where needed. I also made sure the plumbing and electrics were redundant. 


Another more recent Demoltion job, I recall was the Whirinaki school that I did with Brian we applied the same principles.
