Clothing and Dress Tips

A large part of demolition safety involves proper dress and the use of appropriate safety accessories, especially when using power tools.

  • Do not wear loose clothing that can get caught in machinery
  • Pull long hair back
  • Remove any jewelry that can interfere with safe machinery operation
  • Wear safety goggles or glasses with side protection
  • Use a face mask in dusty applications, ear plugs when the site is especially noisy or for extended periods of work
  • Heavy work gloves should be worn to protect against the steady vibration of power tools and the heat that can be generated, especially in the bit
  • Wear steel-toed shoes or boots
