Frequently Asked Questions – Demolition RAMS

What survey is required before demolition?

A pre-demolition structural survey and an asbestos refurbishment and demolition (R&D) survey under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 are mandatory before any demolition work begins.

Does the generator cover asbestos controls?

Yes. It includes mandatory references to asbestos surveys, licensed removal contractors, air monitoring, and four-stage clearance certification where applicable.

What is BS 6187?

BS 6187 is the British Standard code of practice for demolition. It sets out recognised good practice for the safe planning and execution of demolition work and should be referenced in every demolition RAMS.

How are exclusion zones defined?

The generator calculates exclusion zone radius based on the height of the structure being demolished, then documents the fencing specification, signage, and access control procedures required to enforce it.

Can I create RAMS for partial or selective demolition?

Yes. The generator supports soft strip, selective demolition, and full structural demolition, each with appropriate method statements and stability assessments.

Is the document suitable for notifiable projects?

Yes. The RAMS references CDM 2015 and is structured for inclusion in a Construction Phase Plan on F10-notifiable demolition projects.
