Everything Before Construction Starts

Health and Safety

Safety first — on every site, every day.

Our Safety-First Promise

Health and safety is, and always will be, our first priority at Demolition.ng. Demolition is high-risk work, so we run a proactive and constantly improving safety programme — investing in training, planning and supervision to make sure everyone on our projects works in a safe, controlled environment, and that neighbouring properties and the public are protected too.

01

Planning Before Work Begins

Every project starts with a site survey, structural assessment, written method statement and risk assessment. No work begins until the plan is signed off.

02

Training & Competence

Site inductions for every worker, daily toolbox talks before work starts, and certified operators for excavators and lifting equipment.

03

PPE, Always

Helmets, high-visibility vests, safety boots, gloves and eye protection as standard — plus dust masks and respirators for dusty operations. No PPE, no entry.

04

Controlled Work Zones

Exclusion zones, barriers, signage and trained banksmen around plant; dust suppression with water; protection of neighbouring buildings and passers-by.

05

Emergency Preparedness

First-aid trained personnel and stocked kits on every site, documented emergency contacts, the nearest hospital identified before mobilisation, and fire prevention measures in place.

06

Health & Welfare

Clean drinking water, shaded rest areas, fatigue management in hot conditions, and monitoring of dust and noise exposure for our crews.

Demolition.ng branded safety helmet

The Standard on Our Sites

Every person who steps onto a Demolition.ng site wears a branded helmet — a visible reminder that safety is personal, and that everyone goes home in the same condition they arrived.

  • 1No PPE, no entry

    Helmet, hi-vis and boots are non-negotiable for workers and visitors alike.

  • 2Report everything

    Every hazard, near miss and incident is reported and acted on immediately.

  • 3Authorised operators only

    Only trained, competent personnel operate plant, machinery and lifting gear.

  • 4Respect the zones

    Exclusion zones stay clear — never walk under loads or into fenced-off areas.

  • 5Follow the plan

    The method statement is the instruction — no shortcuts, no improvisation.

  • 6Look out for each other

    Anyone can stop work if something looks unsafe. No exceptions, no blame.
