How important is Safety to you? Its our top priority here at Kevitt.
Did you know 5,333 workers died on the job in 2019 (3.5 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers) — on average, more than 100 a week or about 15 deaths every day.

Some Helpful Tips to keep yourself and fellow co-workers safe during a demolition project:

Use Personal Protective Equipment

– Wear and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
– Inspect personal protective equipment before use.

Plan Your Work Carefully

– Begin demolition of exterior walls and floors at the top of the
structure and proceed downward.
– Do NOT cut or remove structural or load-supporting members on
any floor until all stories above that floor have been removed.
– Remove all roof cornices or other ornamental stonework before
pulling down walls.
– NEVER work where there is risk of structural collapse until the
hazard has been eliminated through shoring, bracing, or other
reliable means.
– Inspect all stairs, passageways, and ladders, and illuminate all
stairways.
– Shut off or cap all electric, gas, water, steam, sewer, and other
service lines, and notify appropriate utility companies.
– Use enclosed chutes with gates on the discharge end to drop
demolition material to the ground or into debris containers.
Observe Rules for Floor and Wall Openings
– Guard wall openings to a height of 42 inches. Cover and secure
floor openings with material strong enough to withstand the loads
it will bear.
– When creating a floor opening for material disposal, be sure the
size of the opening is no more than 25 percent of the floor's total
square footage.
