o Where mechanical equipment is used for demolition work, floor
openings shall have curbs or stop-logs to prevent equipment from
running over the edge.
No salvage of materials shall be permitted during demolition operations on any
building, structure, or scaffold more than three stories high or the equivalent
height for which a permit is required.
To further enhance the safety of accessing the site, TEAMWRKX supervises the
installation of toeboards and railings that others install. The following safety measures
are considered during the installation of said measures:

Unless otherwise protected, code-compliant railings provided along all
unprotected and open sides, edges and ends of all built-up scaffolds, runways,
ramps, rolling scaffolds, elevated platforms, surfaces, wall openings, or other
elevations 7 1/2 feet or more above the ground, floor, or level underneath.
There are some exceptions:
o Float and ladder jack scaffolds.
o Bricklayers' and masons' scaffolds used in accordance with OSHA code
Sections 1641 (e) and 1644(a)(6).
o During demolition on the floor or surface being demolished.
A standard toeboard shall be 4 inches (nominal) minimum in vertical height
from its top edge to the level of the floor, platform, runway, or ramp. It shall
be securely fastened in place and have not more than 1/4-inch clearance
above floor level. It may be made of any substantial material, either solid, or
with openings not over one inch in greatest dimension. Toeboards shall be
provided on all open sides and ends of railed scaffolds at locations where
persons are required to work or pass under the scaffold and at all interior floor,
roof, and shaft openings.
o Except for structural steel crafts.
Where material is piled to such height that a standard toeboard does not
provide protection, paneling or screening from floor to intermediate rail or top
rail shall be provided. Where such paneling or screening extend to the toprail,
midrails may be omitted per code.
13.02 BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The risk of contracting a bloodborne pathogen is present in the event of a bruise, cut,
lesion, or any other case that involves loose particles of blood and/or bodily fluids (such
as saliva and mucus). Even a papercut can cause a bloodborne pathogen hazard that can
affect a teammate or any other individual. If a teammate needs this information, it is
readily available in the IIPP, which is printed off in hard copy on all TEAMWRKX jobsites
and in the office HQ.
