Demolition Personal Protective Equipment should include:
- Hard hat for overhead impact or electrical hazards
- Eye protection with side shields
- Gloves chosen for job hazards expected (e.g., heavy-duty leather work gloves for handling debris with sharp edges and/or chemical protective gloves appropriate for chemicals potentially contacted)
- ANSI-approved protective footwear
- Respiratory protection as necessary
- Other PPE may be required based on specific hazards
Remember to conduct an OSHA engineering survey and a hazard assessment, along with workplan and safety plan to address each hazard and evaluate the proper PPE.
