content = """
Demolition work carries inherent risks that require systematic safety protocols and
specialized procedures. Proper handling of hazardous materials, structural considerations,
and safety measures protect workers, occupants, and property during renovation projects.

**Structural Assessment:** Conduct thorough structural evaluations before demolition to
identify load-bearing elements, structural connections, and potential collapse hazards.
Develop sequenced demolition plans that maintain structural integrity throughout the process.

**Hazardous Material Identification:** Survey spaces for asbestos, lead paint, mercury, and
other regulated substances. Engage certified professionals for sampling, testing, and
abatement procedures. Develop containment and disposal protocols for identified hazards.

**Utility Disconnection:** Coordinate with utility providers to safely disconnect and cap
electrical, gas, water, and sewer services. Mark all disconnected utilities clearly and
implement lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidental reconnection.

**Dust and Debris Control:** Implement comprehensive dust suppression measures including
plastic barriers, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA-filtered equipment. Provide
respiratory protection for workers and establish decontamination procedures.

**Fall Protection Systems:** Assess overhead hazards and implement appropriate fall arrest
systems, guardrails, and warning lines. Ensure safe access for workers at elevated demolition
sites and establish exclusion zones for falling debris.

**Equipment Safety:** Select demolition tools appropriate for the materials and space
constraints. Train operators on proper equipment use and establish inspection and maintenance
protocols to prevent mechanical failures.

**Emergency Preparedness:** Develop site-specific emergency response plans addressing potential
accidents, structural failures, or hazardous material incidents. Ensure availability of first
aid equipment, spill response materials, and emergency contact information.
