DEMOLITION OF CIVIL SERVICES FORMAL RISK ASSESSMENT

The following are some of the key points for the demolition civil work risk assessment uploaded by MSRA DOCS in editable Word format:

Identify the hazards: Start by identifying all potential hazards associated with the demolition work, such as falling debris, exposure to harmful materials (like asbestos), unstable structures, electrical hazards, and more.

Assess the risks: Once you have identified the hazards, evaluate the likelihood and severity of each risk. This will help you prioritize which risks need to be addressed first and how to best mitigate them.

Determine control measures: Based on the risks identified, determine the most effective control measures to reduce or eliminate those risks. This may include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), engineering controls (such as barriers or shoring), administrative controls (like work procedures and permits), and more.

Implement control measures: Once the control measures have been determined, make sure they are implemented properly. This may involve providing appropriate training to workers, ensuring that equipment is properly maintained and used, and ensuring that all necessary permits and licenses are in place.

Monitor and review: Continuously monitor the effectiveness of the control measures and make adjustments as necessary. Regularly review the risk assessment to ensure that it remains current and relevant to the work being performed.

By following these key points, you can help ensure that your demolition work is conducted safely and with minimal risk to workers and the surrounding environment.
