Contact ACC for more information. There has been so much in the newspaper recently about the day labor site. They typically require strength, toughness, tolerance for temperature extremes, and agility, with much bending and stretching. Laborers often clear or clean up vacant lots or land. They may use chainsaws, weed whackers, and shovels to clear trees, brush, trash, and junk to prepare a site for sale or construction.
Laborers do demolition work, knocking down houses or buildings.
This is very dangerous work, requiring use of hammers, axes, and brute strength. Floors, ceilings, and walls give way unexpectedly. Workers are exposed to lead contained in paint and asbestos from insulation and soundproofing. Injuries from stepping on nails or debris are common. The work can involve heavy lifting, lugging the work products to a truck or dumpster.
