What are the criteria to consider for the planning of the recycling tasks in demolition works?
Following the project and always keeping in mind the risk assessment elaborated specifically for such project is essential in order to minimise the risks during the job performance and carry out the operation safely.
Therefore, it is essential that recycling tasks are already foreseen and included in the demolition project at the design stage.
The main tools to monitor and keep under control the parameters required for the safe operation of the recycling equipment should be found in the technical documentation supplied before starting work.
In this regard, the minimum contents of such documentation are the ones described below:
- Characteristics of the land
- Presence of pits or cavities
- Presence of underground culverts and sewer pipes
- Presence of underground services, water mains, gas mains, etc.
- Overhead service gantries
- Identification of the exclusion areas
- Identification of debris storage areas
- Identification of the recycling areas
- Identification of the recycled products storage areas
- Influence of weather conditions on the recycling tasks
- Identification of the characteristics of the recycling equipment to be used
- Indication on the debris and dust control systems to be assembled
- Time sequence of events
- Necessary graphic support
- Site plans indicating the operation areas and site services
