Workplace Monitoring for Demolition
Find occupational hygienists for demolition workplace monitoring in Australia. Asbestos clearance, silica, lead, and general dust monitoring for demolition contractors.
Common Exposures
Demolition of buildings constructed before 2003 presents significant asbestos, lead, and silica exposure risks. Licensed asbestos removal requires air monitoring before, during, and after removal for clearance certification. Lead paint removal from pre-1970 structures requires both air and biological monitoring.
Silica exposure during concrete breaking, cutting, and crushing is a major hazard in demolition. General dust monitoring ensures inhalable and respirable dust limits are maintained during high-energy demolition activities. Environmental monitoring at the site boundary may also be required to protect neighbouring occupants.
Key Hazards
- !Asbestos fibres
- !Lead dust and fume
- !Respirable crystalline silica
