ASBESTOS & LEAD ABATEMENT
Asbestos is one of the most significant health hazards one can encounter in buildings.This mineral fiber is often used for insulation and as a fire retardant, as well as in a variety of manufactured goods like flooring and mastics.
While its uses are many, it can be dangerous if the material is disturbed, damaged, or unsettled in some way, releasing particles into the air (making it friable), and should be removed by a certified licensed asbestos contactor in Los Angeles, CA. Common belief holds that the substance was banned by the United States in the late 70s; however, it was only phased out for certain uses, and indeed is still found in a variety of other uses today.
What the concerned building owner wants to look out for, however, are those instances where asbestos poses a risk to the health of those living or working near its presence. Demolition Services bring an experienced team that specializes in the removal of asbestos.
RECYCLING
In the greater Los Angeles/Orange County areas, recycling 75% of all demolition debris is required by most cities. Some cities are even higher. When we perform our work, we always source-separate the material on site to be hauled off to different facilities. We will typically separate metal, asphalt, concrete, wood, green waste, drywall, wiring and piping. The remaining debris will be comingled and hauled off to a transfer station, where they will sort through the material and pull out potential recycled material. When Demolition Services provides estimates for demolition work, we always factor in the value of potential recycled materials. We have extensive experience in knowing the value of recycled material. Currently insulation is one of the few materials that are not being recycled.
At Demolition Services we can create a recycling specification that includes a goal or target for recycling sets an expectation that materials should be diverted from disposal. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the method or value of recycled materials.
SAFETY
At Demolition Services, we want every project as safe as possible. Here’s our demolition safety tips checklist to help protect our workers and others on a jobsite:
- Wear appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE): While the PPE requirements for each country may vary, workers should wear a hard hat/helmet, safety goggles, gloves, high-visibility vest or jacket and steel-toe boots at a demolition site.
- Maintain a mindset of asbestos awareness: Don’t begin any demolition phase until you’ve conducted comprehensive asbestos surveying at the site. Make sure you’ve removed all licensed and non-licensed asbestos materials before proceeding.
- Shut off utilities: Turn off all electricity, sewer, gas, water and other utility lines, and notify the applicable utility companies before starting.
- Start at the top: When demolishing exterior walls and floors, the safest approach is to start at the top of the structure and work your way down to ground level.
- Remove load-bearing structures last: Don’t remove any load-bearing component until you remove the stories above the floor on which you’re working.
- Protect against falling debris: Install chutes with enclosed gates on the discharge end when dropping debris into containers or onto the ground.
- Limit the size of floor openings: Check that the size of all floor openings intended for material disposal does not exceed 25% of the total floor space.
- Keep workers out of unsafe areas: Make sure your team doesn’t enter any areas where structural hazards are present until you’ve implemented the appropriate shoring or bracing steps.
- Establish clear vehicle paths and pedestrian walkways: Allow construction equipment and workers to navigate the site freely and safely by creating unobstructed pathways that are out of the danger zone.
- Maintain a clean job site: A cleaner demolition site leads to fewer injuries and accidents. Keep the area clean by removing debris consistently throughout the project instead of waiting until the end.
