Demolition Compliance — CCDO Cards, Asbestos Survey & CDM Tracking
Demolition carries mandatory asbestos survey requirements and CCDO card obligations before a ball is swung. Certivenza tracks every worker's demolition qualifications across the full project lifecycle.
14-day free trial · No credit card required
Demolition contractors face an unusually complex compliance picture: every project must have a pre-demolition asbestos survey, site managers need CCDO cards, and CDM 2015 requires a Principal Contractor to ensure every operative is competent for their specific role. Certivenza centralises demolition workforce compliance so your site managers can demonstrate competence to HSE and OSHA inspectors in minutes, not days.

The compliance challenges demolition & excavation businesses face
Without a dedicated system, lapsed certifications and missed renewals put your business at risk.
Pre-demolition asbestos surveys are a legal requirement, not a best practice
CDM 2015 Regulation 4 requires clients to provide information about pre-existing asbestos before demolition starts. Contractors who proceed without survey documentation face criminal prosecution, not just fines.
CCDO cards are job-role specific and expire simultaneously
CCDO Basic, Advanced, and Supervisor cards all have 5-year cycles but are often issued at similar times, meaning a large demolition gang's cards can expire in the same month with limited renewal slots available.
Confined space entry for excavation work lacks annual documentation
Deep excavations frequently require permit-to-work confined space entry procedures. OSHA requires annual refresher training, but many demolition businesses treat confined space as a project-level activity rather than a worker certification.
CDM Principal Contractor obligations catch smaller contractors unprepared
When a demolition contractor steps into the PC role, they inherit responsibility for every subcontractor's workforce competence. Without a system, demonstrating workforce compliance during an HSE site inspection is nearly impossible.

Frequently asked questions
How do we track project-level asbestos survey requirements alongside worker certifications?
Use Certivenza for worker-level certifications (CCDO cards, asbestos awareness). For project-level documents like survey reports, you can create a project-specific employee record or use the notes field on the relevant worker's profile to link the survey reference number.
Our HSE asbestos removal licence covers the company, not individuals — how do we track it?
Add a dedicated employee record for the company licence (e.g. 'Company — Asbestos Licence') or attach it to your director's profile. Set expiry alerts at 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month — HSE licence renewals require advance application.
Can Certivenza produce a CDM competence register for our Principal Contractor role?
Yes. Export the compliance matrix as a CSV or PDF. It lists every operative, their qualifications, and status. This format satisfies the CDM 2015 competence register requirement for PC responsibilities.
How do we handle CCDO card renewals when training slots are limited?
Configure 90-day early alerts for CCDO cards specifically. This gives enough lead time to book NVQ assessments and find available CCDO test slots without deadline pressure.
