- This British Standard gives good practice recommendations for the demolition (both full and partial) of facilities, including buildings and structures. The standard is therefore applicable to demolition activities undertaken as part of structural refurbishment. It also covers decommissioning. In particular, the standard gives recommendations for: The proper and effective management of demolition processes, including those forming part of structural refurbishment; Maintaining structural stability, including through the provision of temporary structural support, where necessary; Managing deliberate structural collapse; Identifying and establishing responsibilities during all phases of the demolition processes; Acquiring a knowledge of the site, including its former uses Managing environmental issues; Managing health and safety hazards; Carrying out risk assessments and planning the work accordingly; Establishing and managing procedures effectively; Determining and managing safe exclusion zones. The standard takes into account safety, health and issues that affect the protection of the environment. It is essential that those carrying out demolition activities possess the necessary levels of competence. Clients or procurers of demolition works need to ensure that all contractors, designers and other team members that they propose to engage or appoint are competent to comply with the health and safety requirements necessary to undertake demolition activities. Guidance is given on the training and competence required for the activities covered by this standard.
