Why this matters
Demolition releases dust, can reveal hazardous materials, and can bring down more than planned.
What to cover
- Review the survey for asbestos, lead, and live services before you start.
- Know which walls and floors carry load.
- Stop work and report any suspect material.
- Control dust with water or extraction and wear a respirator.
- Keep exits clear and debris moving out.
- Keep people out of areas that could fall.
Ask the crew
- What do the surveys say?
- Which wall can't we touch?
- Where does the debris go?
One thing to do today
Read the survey together before work starts.
