O que vai fazer

Texto original em inglês, como foi registrado no Departamento do Trabalho.

RFI Response: The demolition work performed by Construction Laborers consists solely of manual cleanup and support activities at concrete construction sites involving roadways and bridges. When deteriorated sections of concrete are removed, Construction Laborers do not operate saw-cutting equipment, concrete breaking machines, backhoes, end loaders, or dump trucks. Those activities are performed exclusively by separately qualified and licensed equipment operators or skilled trades. Construction Laborers assist only after mechanical removal has occurred, performing manual labor tasks to support site preparation and cleanup. These tasks include shoveling, raking, sweeping, and collecting small broken concrete pieces and debris that remain along the perimeter of the work area after heavy equipment has completed removal. The purpose of this work is to maintain a safe and clean jobsite and prepare surfaces for subsequent construction activities.
Tools, Equipment, and Materials Used:
For these demolition-related tasks, Construction Laborers use hand tools only, including shovels, push brooms, hand brooms, rakes, and wheelbarrows. No specialized demolition tools, heavy machinery, or powered breaking equipment are used or operated by Construction Laborers. Materials handled consist of small fragments of broken concrete and general construction debris.
Processes, Projects, and Industry Context:
The work occurs within the concrete construction industry, specifically on roadway and bridge repair projects. The Construction Laborers’ role is limited to manual labor support, site cleanup, debris removal, and surface preparation. They do not perform skilled demolition, structural removal, engineering work, or equipment operation. All duties are performed under the direction of supervisors and skilled trades and are consistent with the scope of SOC 47-2061.
Confirmation of SOC Classification:
All duties described above fall squarely within the definition of Construction Laborers (SOC 47-2061), involving physical labor, use of basic hand tools, and assistance with construction site preparation and cleanup. No duties associated with demolition workers, equipment operators, or other skilled construction occupations are performed.
