Not everyone in demolition needs one of these


The public face of the demolition industry might be big diggers and heavy equipment.

But there's WAY more to the industry than that.

Demolition employs thousands of people - men and women - that work behind the scenes and who rarely (if ever) set foot on a demolition site.

From administrators and office staff to those responsible for managing training and monitoring health and safety procedures, these are the backbone of a thriving industry with excellent training and excellent opportunities for career progression.

So if you are the type of person that wants to work in a nice clean office behind a nice clean computer, then don't dismiss demolition.

You could be just the type of person we're looking for. Contact us to find out more.

The most powerful tools in the demolition business

Don't forget the office staff

When companies submit PQQs for work with ourselves one of the areas that we look at closely is training of the workforce as here at C&D we believe that a trained workforce is a safe workforce.

However, you would be amazed how many companies train the site staff in accordance with recommendations but fail to consider any training whatsoever for the office staff, leaving them vulnerable to accident or injury whilst carrying out day to day office work.

Why not take a few hours and do a risk assessment of the work done by your office staff and carry out a training needs analysis for that work to ensure that you have adequately covered items such as:-
  • Manual handling (photo copy paper boxes, water cooler bottles etc)
  • Emergency procedures in the event of a fire
  • Lone working
  • Work at Height (reaching the safety policy from the top shelf)
  • Use of VDU equipment
  • Correct posture and layout of workstations
If you feel that, following the training needs analysis, you need training for your office staff please contact margaret@demolishdismantle.co.uk to discuss your training needs.
