Demolition Safety

Course Code: DS1

The 1-Hour Demolition Safety course provides construction and trade workers with critical knowledge to work safely during demolition operations. Demolition work involves unique hazards such as structural instability, falling debris, exposure to hazardous materials, and the use of heavy equipment in confined areas. This training focuses on hazard recognition, safe work practices, and regulatory compliance to protect workers and the public.

Participants will learn how to assess structures prior to demolition, identify and control potential hazards, and follow safe procedures for partial and total building demolition. The course also covers personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, debris removal safety, and compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart T – Demolition, as well as NYC Department of Buildings Site Safety Training (SST) requirements.

This course covers the following topics:

• Conduct pre-demolition surveys to identify structural weaknesses and hazards.
• Follow engineered demolition plans and safety protocols.
• Wear appropriate PPE, including head, eye, and respiratory protection.
• Establish exclusion zones to protect workers and the public.
• Ensure proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials.
• Maintain clear communication among demolition crew members.
• Report unsafe conditions to supervisors immediately.
• Comply with OSHA and NYC DOB safety requirements for demolition work.

This course counts as 1 Hour of Specialized Elective credit toward your Site Safety Training (SST) card and is valid for 5 years from completion unless otherwise specified by the New York City Buildings Department.
