Demolition Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Demolition work exposes crews to unstable structures, heavy plant and changing site conditions. Without clear procedures, the risk of serious incidents quickly increases.

BlueSafe’s Demolition SOPs provide structured guidance for stripping, dismantling and mechanically demolishing structures.


Typical Demolition SOP Topics

Demolition SOPs may cover:

  • soft strip-out and removal of fittings and fixtures
  • hand demolition using basic tools and small plant
  • mechanical demolition using excavators and attachments
  • debris management, segregation and loading out

Each SOP is designed to work alongside your demolition SWMS and project WHS documentation.


What’s Inside a Demolition SOP

Each SOP typically includes:

  • scope of the demolition task
  • PPE and exclusion zone controls
  • plant and equipment inspections
  • step-by-step task instructions
  • structural stability and sequencing reminders
  • waste handling and site clean-up steps

You can tailor the content to different building types and demolition methods.
