Safety at Demo Leaders

At Demo Leaders, safety isn’t just a requirement – it’s the foundation of every demolition project we undertake. Our commitment is to protect our team, our clients, and the surrounding environment through rigorous planning and disciplined execution. Every site is different, so we apply international best practices while tailoring safety procedures to the unique conditions of each project. Below are the core safety principles that guide us on every job:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

All team members are equipped with certified protective gear, including helmets, safety goggles, gloves, steel-toe boots, and high-visibility vests. This ensures every worker has the right protection for the conditions on site.

Asbestos & Hazard Awareness

Before any demolition begins, we conduct thorough asbestos and hazardous material surveys. Licensed professionals handle the safe removal of both licensed and non-licensed asbestos, ensuring the site is compliant and risk-free.

Utility Shutdown Procedures

We coordinate with the relevant providers to shut off electricity, gas, water, sewer, and other utilities. This critical step prevents unexpected hazards during demolition.

Top-Down Approach

When removing structures, we follow a controlled, top-down method – dismantling upper levels before lower ones. This approach minimises risk and keeps the process predictable and safe.

Structural Integrity & Load-Bearing Elements

No load-bearing walls or components are removed until all upper levels are cleared. We apply professional shoring and bracing techniques to stabilise structures and eliminate collapse risks.

Debris Management & Falling Object Protection

Chutes and enclosed systems are installed to manage debris safely. This keeps work areas controlled and prevents falling materials from endangering workers or bystanders.

Safe Pathways & Clear Zones

We establish designated vehicle paths and pedestrian walkways, separating heavy machinery from foot traffic. This ensures smooth movement around the site without unnecessary risks.

Clean & Organised Worksite

A tidy site is a safer site. Debris is removed continuously throughout the project, reducing tripping hazards and keeping operations efficient.

Why Safety Matters to Us

For us, safety is about more than compliance – it’s about responsibility. By maintaining the highest standards, we not only protect lives but also deliver projects efficiently, on schedule, and with peace of mind for our clients.
