Demolition Tasks On A Construction Site

Any demolition tasks that are carried out on a construction site need a lot of people who all have their own responsibilities and tasks. This part of a construction site is very much a team effort to ensure safety of everyone working on the demolition to prevent a personal injury claim.

• Clients that are having any demolition work must appoint dutyholders who are competent and adequately resourced.
• Structural engineers then survey the site and assess the stability of any nearby structures, the risks of uncontrolled collapse, the risks from hazardous materials. This needs to be done before the work is carried out and not left for the main contractor as any early findings might prevent or stop any work being started.
• CDM coordinators then plan effective site management that will keep people (site workers and the general public) as far as possible from any potential risks.
• Principle contractors manage and co-ordinate health and safety issues during the demolition project
• Site Managers then supervise workers and ensure that they are following safe working practices
• Sub Contractors and any site workers must then understand and follow the precautions and then ensure that their colleagues also follow them.
