Construction Laborers

RFI response: Clarification of Demolition-Related Duties With respect to the statement in Item F.a.2 that Construction Laborers “participate in demolitions” and “operate and care for construction equipment and machines,” the employer clarifies that Construction Laborers do not perform demolition work involving heavy machinery, powered demolition tools, or specialized equipment. All demolition activities that involve saw cutting, mechanical breaking, or removal of concrete or structures are performed exclusively by separately qualified equipment operators or skilled trades. Construction Laborers participate in demolition activities only in a supportive, manual labor capacity after mechanical demolition has been completed by others. Their tasks are limited to hand cleanup and site support, including collecting loose debris, removing small broken pieces of concrete or material left behind by equipment, sweeping and clearing work areas, and preparing surfaces for subsequent construction activities. These duties are performed using basic hand tools such as shovels, brooms, rakes, and wheelbarrows. Construction Laborers do not operate construction equipment or machines such as saws, breakers, loaders, excavators, backhoes, or other powered or motorized equipment. They do not perform equipment maintenance beyond basic housekeeping, such as keeping work areas clear of debris. No specific make or model of equipment applies to Construction Laborers because they do not operate machinery
