Site Security Manager (SSM) Practice Exam

The action that is not required to be performed before demolition begins is notifying OSHA. While OSHA regulations do require adherence to safety standards throughout the demolition process, there is no explicit requirement for the employer or site manager to notify OSHA before actual demolition work starts. Instead, it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations regarding workplace safety, which includes conducting hazard assessments, having utility shut-offs, and carrying out site inspections prior to beginning demolition activities. On the other hand, conducting a hazard assessment is crucial to identify and mitigate any risks associated with the demolition process. Utility shut-offs are necessary to prevent accidents related to gas, water, or electricity during demolition. Additionally, site inspections are critical to ensure that the area is safe and that all necessary precautions have been taken before work begins.
