Stop disturbing it, secure the area and use the site's identification and escalation process before work resumes.
Can an operative change the demolition sequence?
No material change should occur without review and briefing under the project's authorised method.
Can a Demolition Operative change the demolition sequence?
No material change should occur without authorised technical review and briefing because stability, services and exclusion controls may depend on sequence.
What if an unknown board or coating is uncovered?
Stop disturbing it, secure the area and use the site's hazardous-material identification and escalation process before work resumes.
Can demolition plant duties be included?
Only for specific equipment supported by verified competence, task controls and site authorisation.
How should dust and respiratory equipment be covered?
The contract can require use, checks, fit, care and reporting under the employer's task-specific dust and respiratory-protection arrangements.
Can the role move between projects?
Yes. State the normal geographical area, travel, notice, vehicle or mileage and any accommodation used for distant sites.
Who decides whether an area is structurally safe?
The designated competent technical or site authority should assess changing stability; the operative should stop and escalate rather than infer safety.
