Top Tips For Site Clearances

Business Site Clearance

Before any new building or landscaping work commences on your premises, it is vital that the current site is cleared thoroughly and with safety as the paramount concern. You must comply with all relevant health and safety legislation to ensure any waste is removed and transported with the utmost care and to keep disruption to the broader environment to an absolute minimum. Site clearance contractors must thoroughly prepare the chosen site and undertake a risk assessment of the premises to make staff aware of all on-site dangers before commencing work.

Make personnel and visitors aware of ongoing work.
Before any building work or clearance can begin, signs must be erected on-site to alert personnel and visitors of ongoing work. Anyone entering the clearance site must be reminded if any health and safety dangers are present. It is recommended that the wearing of hard hats on-site is enforced at all times and that hats be kept in reserve for site visitors.

Some top tips:

Get advice on the best possible machinery to use
To save time and money, liaising with a local contractor is a good idea to discover the most suitable machinery to clear your site. Specific machinery will be more effective than others depending on the materials that need disposal, so you must discuss it with someone who’s been there and has done it before. Better still, if you’re not confident operating the machinery to clear your site safely and effectively, you can always hire experienced demolition contractors to undertake the task. These site clearance experts have the expertise and machinery to dismantle and strip out large areas for your business to utilise once again.

Consider the potential health and safety risks.
Always remember that the area you’ve earmarked for clearance for future building or landscape work must be free of any vegetation or construction materials before future work can be carried out. If not, these materials could harm the wider environment and affect how the land can be utilised.

Arrange for licensed transportation of scrap metals.
Suppose your business is undergoing a site clearance to make way for new and improved premises. In that case, you’ll want to ensure that all the scrap metals derived from the demolition work are taken away safely and efficiently without harming the broader environment. Whether it’s old RSJs, cabling, iron, scrap stainless steel or aluminium left within the shell of your property, Reclamet can swiftly remove it from your site and transport it to its licensed site for recycling or reuse. However, remember that you’ll need to categorise the items that require disposal correctly.
