Define the removal boundary
State whether the work includes the building, slab, foundations, pavement, below-grade items and finish grading. Mark neighboring structures and items to remain.
Resolve surveys and utility controls
OSHA demolition rules address a pre-demolition engineering survey and control of service lines. The required survey, hazardous-material review, utility arrangements and any abatement must be resolved before affected operations begin.
Specify the site logistics
Provide truck access, staging, adjoining occupancy and the allowed work window. Identify who is responsible for permits, public protection and required inspections.
Set the closeout condition
Clarify removal depth, backfill, grading, drainage and documentation. Over-water structure work, blasting and unconfirmed regulated-material abatement are not offered by this website.
Planning reference: OSHA 1926.850: preparatory operations. Requirements and methods must be assessed for the actual project.
