Danger! Can I Enter?

Topics

Construction Site Hazards
- Non-hazardous Waste Materials
- Hazardous Waste Materials

Objective/Goal:

Students will understand the different hazards that have to be considered when demolition is used to change a structure..

Introduction:

Demolition is the process of changing or eliminating a structure. Before demolition can happen, engineers need to know the different types of building materials that are used in a structure to determine what safety measures must be taken to keep the demolition crews, community, and the environment safe. Use the resources below to learn about the different types of building materials and hazards encountered in demolition.

Research/Reflect/Brainstorm – Time to think and expand your knowledge!

Grab your BEST Journal, notebook or online doc for notes to document your learning. Use various sources such as books, magazines, and websites from below to learn more about energy, forms of energy, consequences, and possibilities.

Use various sources such as the internet, textbooks, magazines etc. to answer the questions below.

What are the materials found in a Construction or Demolition sites?
What do demolition crews do with Construction material waste or materials from demolition?
Why are some building materials hazardous and some building materials not hazardous?
How does building waste affect human interactions in our communities?
