Manage Demolition of Buildings and Structures

Learn Key Aspects of Safe and Sustainable Demolition Management with our Course

Overview

Demolition works typically involve tearing down of buildings or civil engineering structures. The improper handling of demolition works can give rise to various risks and environmental impacts. Demolition management plan should be developed to mitigate the potential risks from identified work hazards as well as the environmental impacts resulting from the demolition works.
