Even when planned, demolition can be hazardous work. It can be even more hazardous at unconventional job sites, such as the World Trade Center following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, or natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

After completing this module, you should be able to:

Identify hazards associated with planned demolition projects.

Understand hazards of unstable structures in unconventional demolition.

Compare and contrast conventional and unconventional demolition within OSHA's demolition standard.
