Subpart T of OSHA's standards for construction covers which type of demolition operations?

Subpart T of OSHA's standards specifically addresses demolition operations and emphasizes the safety protocols necessary for conducting these activities. The focus of this subpart is primarily on manual demolition operations, which involve using hand tools and labor-intensive methods to dismantle structures.

Manual demolition can include processes like hand dismantling, wrecking, or the use of simple tools where the risks associated with explosive techniques or heavy machinery aren't present. OSHA provides guidelines under Subpart T to ensure that workers involved in these operations are protected from hazards typically found in demolition work, such as falling objects or risks associated with structural instability.

While there are regulations covering other types of demolition, including explosive or machinery-assisted operations, those fall under different subparts of OSHA's regulations or require specific considerations and different safety measures. This is why the correct answer centers on manual demolition, as that is the primary context in which Subpart T is applied.
