Dismantling within an assessed non-asbestos work scope — Demolition company
Identify the materials to be dismantled and provide the relevant pre-work asbestos information with its coverage and limitations. Agree the precise work area and what happens if unidentified or suspected material is encountered. The service is ordinary dismantling within that assessed scope.
Service scope
Ordinary dismantling restricted to the materials and work area covered by appropriate pre-work asbestos information. The contractor agrees the limits of that evidence and refers unidentified or suspected material for competent assessment; the service name does not certify the entire building as asbestos-free.
What is normally included
- Review asbestos information for the planned disturbance
- Dismantle the agreed assessed non-asbestos materials
- Refer unexpected or suspected material for competent assessment
What is not included
- No whole-building asbestos-free promise
- No unqualified asbestos sampling or removal
- Declaring asbestos absence from a name or photograph
- Asbestos removal or sampling by an unqualified dismantling crew
Typical tasks
- Review asbestos information for the planned disturbance
- Dismantle the agreed assessed non-asbestos materials
- Refer unexpected or suspected material for competent assessment
- Separate the agreed dismantling sequence from any specialist hazardous-material work
- Document the condition and disposal route of the agreed dismantled materials
What to include in your brief
- Exact materials and planned disturbance
- Applicable survey or assessment and limitations
- Responsibility if unexpected material is found
- Approximate quantities and access for removing the assessed materials
- Service-isolation status and intended retention or disposal of dismantled components
Choosing the right professional
Choose a contractor who checks the assessment against the actual work, records exclusions and has a clear response to unexpected material. Do not treat a service name as evidence about an entire building.
Important considerations
- Assessment gaps can require further investigation before work continues
- Unexpected materials can change the programme and specialist requirements
