Frequently asked questions
Common questions about demolition operative RAMS.
What should be checked before intrusive demolition starts?
Confirm the scope, available structural and asbestos information, services status, access, neighbouring occupiers, emergency arrangements and the sequence approved for the actual structure.
How should asbestos risk be addressed in demolition RAMS?
Reference the relevant survey information and make clear that suspect materials must not be disturbed. Stop work and follow the site escalation process if materials differ from the information available.
How do I control dust and debris?
Plan suppression, containment, controlled drop zones, waste routes, housekeeping and appropriate PPE or RPE. Adapt these controls to the material, method and people who could be affected.
