Product Overview
This Demolition Of Concrete Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement effective controls for all stages of concrete demolition on Australian worksites. It is a comprehensive, ready-to-use document that supports WHS compliance and systematically manages risks associated with high risk construction work involving concrete structures.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and sequencing of concrete demolition works, including review of structural drawings and engineering requirements
- Isolation and disconnection of services prior to demolition, including electricity, gas, water, and communications
- Selection and use of demolition tools such as jackhammers, concrete saws, breakers, and impact tools
- Safe operation of mobile plant used in concrete demolition, including excavators with hammers, skid steers, and loaders
- Control of falling objects, flying debris, and concrete fragments through exclusion zones and physical barriers
- Management of noise, vibration, and dust generated during concrete breaking, cutting, and removal
- Manual handling and mechanical lifting of concrete rubble, reinforcing steel, and debris
- Working at heights during demolition of elevated slabs, beams, walls, and suspended concrete elements
- Protection of adjacent structures, services, and public areas from impact, collapse, or damage
- Identification and control of hazardous materials potentially embedded in or around concrete (e.g. asbestos, lead-based products)
- Housekeeping, waste segregation, and environmentally responsible disposal or recycling of demolished concrete
- Emergency response planning for structural instability, equipment failure, or worker injury during demolition
Who is this for?
This SWMS is designed for demolition contractors, concrete cutting and coring specialists, civil and construction companies, and site supervisors overseeing any demolition of concrete structures.
