Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.850(a): Prior to permitting employees to start demolition operations, an engineering survey shall be made, by a competent person, of the structure to determine the condition of the framing, floors, and walls, and possibility of unplanned collapse of any portion of the structure. Any adjacent structure where employees may be exposed shall also be similarly checked. The employer shall have in writing evidence that such a survey has been performed. On or about December 2, 2015, one employee was fatally injured and a second employee was hospitalized when the towers supporting a cable coal bridge prematurely collapsed during their demolition. An engineering survey that addressed the demolition of the bridge's towers, including the possibility of unplanned collapse, had not been made exposing employees to struck-by and/or crushed-by hazards.
