          Other Health & Safety Hazards for General, Construction & Demolition
                                                    Industries.

 Demolition and Cleanup Before starting a demolition, the person or persons in charge must adequately prepare for the task with regard to the health and safety of the workers. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, including the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment necessary to do the job, and the measures to be taken to perform the work safely. Before doing demolition work, inspect available personal protective equipment (PPE), and select, wear and use the PPE appropriate for the task. Demolition work involves many of the same hazards associated with construction work. However, demolition also poses additional hazards due to unknown factors such as: deviations from the structure's original design, approved or unapproved modifications that altered the original design, materials hidden within structural members, and unknown strengths or weaknesses of damaged materials. To counter these unknowns, all personnel involved in a demolition project need to be fully aware of these types of hazards and the safety precautions available to control these hazards.

California Injury and Illness Prevention Programs (IIPP)  CCR Title 8 Section 3203
Most Common Work Related Hazards.   

Falls, The factors affecting the level of hazard include the following
1. Fall height
2. Level of hazard awareness and skill of the employee
3. Physical work environment (e.g., conditions affecting the stability of the employee on the work surface)
4. Duration of exposure to the fall hazard

Slips wet or oily surfaces, spills, weather hazards like ice or snow, loose rugs or mats, uneven flooring, poor lighting, unsuitable footwear, and rushing or not paying attention while walking
TripsThe majority of trips are caused by obstructions in walkways. The rest are caused by uneven surfaces
