There are certain things a company must have and do in order to achieve an OHS Management System accreditation. The purpose of a safety management system is to prevent death or injury as well as the prevention of property damage. In order to display that a company has good safety standards, they need to document their system. This includes hazard identification and control, details of risks and what systems and procedures are in place if something happens, submission of an audit plan and a certificate authenticating the annual audit from an accredited auditor.

Auditing involves an accredited auditor visiting your company to check your safety measures and how they are implemented. They will undertake an annual audit in accordance with the state’s guidelines for auditing an OHS Management System. For more detailed information on what they look for and what kind of system a demolition company must have in place, you can contact an OHS Management System auditor or visit your state government’s website.

1. Mines
   Although mining is currently a booming industry in Australia, sometimes older, unprofitable or dangerous mines require removal. With so much equipment and underground work, it isn’t as simple as packing up and leaving the mine behind. This is where demolition companies come in. They can remove the mine, recycle any salvageable items, as well as make sure it is environmentally sound.
2. Underground tanks and petrol stations
   Like mines, tanks and petrol stations hidden underground cannot simply be removed. Typically, the matter inside the tank has contaminated the soil in the area. The tanks are also usually very big and it is vital they are removed safely and the excavation of the tank and filling of the space must be carried out by highly skilled professionals. These steps are necessary for redevelopment purposes.
3. Bridges
   Although it is not a common thing, sometimes it is necessary to demolish a bridge for the safety of the population. It may be due to age or positioning, but the only way to effectively remove such a big and potentially dangerous structure is with a professional demolition crew.
4. Airports
   Like many of the more unusual demolition projects a company may undertake, airports require a significant amount of work other than just the demolition. First, materials like combustibles, concrete, timber and anything salvageable must be stripped from the area and recycled. Then, mechanical demolition can be completed. In some cases, larger structures also need to be separated into more manageable pieces before they are demolished.

Some other uncommon demolition types include plant decommissions, marine, piers, silo and wharf projects. For more information or advice, talk to the demolition specialists, Queensland based company, Abyss Demolition.
