A method statement for demolishing outlines the steps, procedures, and safety precautions for carrying out demolition

work. It is designed to
ensure that the demolition is performed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all relevant regulations. Below is a sample method statement
for demolition work:

Method Statement for Demolition Work

1. Introduction: This method statement provides detailed instructions for carrying out demolition activities on [site/project name]. The goal is to
safely and efficiently demolish the specified structures or parts of the building while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring the safety of
personnel and the public.

2. Scope of Work: The demolition work includes the safe dismantling and removal of [structure type, e.g., building, wall, roof, floor, etc.] at
[location/site]. This will involve the use of [tools/machinery] and may include manual, mechanical, or controlled explosive methods (if
applicable). The site will be cleared of debris and made safe at the conclusion of the work.

3. Responsibilities:

 Demolition Supervisor: Oversees the entire demolition process, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, ensuring the method
statement is followed, and supervising workers.

 Demolition Workers: Perform the demolition work, following instructions and maintaining safety standards.

 Health and Safety Officer: Ensures that health and safety protocols are strictly adhered to during the demolition.

 Project Manager: Manages the overall project and ensures that all aspects of the demolition align with the project’s timeline and budget.

4. Preparation: Before starting demolition, the following preparations will be made:

 Conduct a thorough site assessment to identify structural elements, utilities, hazardous materials, and other critical factors.

 Obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities.

 Disconnect or isolate any utilities (water, gas, electricity, etc.) to ensure that the building is safe to demolish.

 Review structural drawings, plans, and the demolition sequence.


 Establish site boundaries, safety zones, and secure the area with barriers and warning signs.

 Ensure all personnel have the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE).

5. Methodology:

Step 1: Site Setup and Safety Measures

 Set up a secure perimeter around the demolition area.

 Erect warning signs and barriers to prevent unauthorized access.

 Check and test equipment to ensure it is functioning correctly before use.

 Conduct a pre-demolition safety briefing for all workers involved.

Step 2: Hazardous Material Identification and Removal

 Conduct a survey for hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, lead paint, etc.).

 Remove hazardous materials by a licensed contractor prior to starting the demolition.

Step 3: Dismantling/Selective Demolition

 If applicable, perform selective demolition to preserve certain building elements for reuse or recycling (e.g., windows, doors, salvageable
materials).

 Use hand tools (e.g., sledgehammers, chisels) or machinery (e.g., excavators, bulldozers) to dismantle the structure in a controlled
manner.

Step 4: Full Demolition

 For total demolition, begin with the upper floors or sections of the structure and work downwards, using heavy machinery where
appropriate (e.g., hydraulic excavators with shears, crushers, or wrecking balls).

 Where manual demolition is needed, work from the top downward, ensuring structural integrity is maintained as the building is
dismantled.
 For controlled demolitions (if explosives are used), follow all specific blasting procedures and regulations.

Step 5: Debris Removal and Site Clearance

 Once the structure is demolished, remove all debris using mechanical equipment such as loaders and cranes.

 Transport debris to designated disposal or recycling areas.

 Perform site cleanup, removing all rubble and debris, ensuring the area is safe for further work.

Step 6: Final Inspection and Safety Checks

 Conduct a final inspection to ensure the demolition site is clear of hazards.

 Ensure that the area is safe and that all safety barriers are removed as appropriate.

6. Equipment and Tools: The following tools and equipment will be used for the demolition work:

 Heavy machinery (excavators, bulldozers, cranes)

 Hydraulic breakers, wrecking balls, and shears

 Manual tools (hammers, crowbars, chisels)

 PPE (helmets, gloves, safety boots, goggles, hearing protection, etc.)

 Dust suppression equipment (water sprayers, foggers)

 Waste removal equipment (dump trucks, skips, conveyors)

7. Health and Safety Considerations:

 Ensure that all personnel wear appropriate PPE throughout the demolition process.

 Establish exclusion zones around the demolition area, including pedestrian walkways and vehicle access.

 Regularly inspect equipment to ensure it is in safe working order.


 Monitor air quality and control dust with water spraying or dust suppression techniques.

 Ensure proper ventilation where necessary, especially when working with hazardous materials.

 Establish emergency evacuation procedures in case of accidents or unexpected events.

8. Emergency Procedures:

 In case of fire, accident, or structural collapse, immediately evacuate the site.

 Provide first aid to any injured personnel and contact emergency services.

 Report the incident and complete an incident report for investigation and safety improvements.

9. Environmental Considerations:

 Follow local environmental regulations concerning the disposal of demolition debris.

 Recycle materials where possible (e.g., metal, concrete, wood).

 Minimize dust and noise pollution by using appropriate techniques and machinery.

 Use protective measures to prevent contamination of surrounding soil and water.

10. Documentation and Reporting:

 Maintain records of the demolition activities, including safety checks, waste disposal, and material recycling.

 Provide a final demolition report that includes details of the work completed, safety measures taken, and the condition of the site after
demolition.

This method statement should be customized for your specific demolition project, taking into account local regulations, site conditions, and the
complexity of the demolition work. It serves as a guide to ensure safe, organized, and efficient execution.
