Health & Safety

Safety starts with preparation

Health and safety underpins how CJ Charlton Group plans and delivers demolition works.
It is built into every stage of a project, from early planning through to final site clearance.

PLANNING BEFORE WORK STARTS

Safe demolition begins long before machinery arrives on site.

Each project starts with a detailed review of surveys, structural information, site constraints, and surrounding risks. From this, we develop clear demolition methodologies that reflect real site conditions rather than generic assumptions.

Potential hazards are identified early, control measures are defined, and responsibilities are clearly allocated. This reduces uncertainty and prevents issues once work is underway.

This award is a reflection of our team and their commitment to doing things the right way, every day

Industry Recognition

Recognised For Our Approach To Health & safety

In 2026, CJ Chartlon Group was awarded the Health & Safety Achievement of the Year at the British Demolition Awards.

The Award recognises an approach that runs through every stage of our work, from early planning and detailed method statements, through to training, supervision and delivery on site. For us, health and safety isn’t a seperate part of the job. It shapes how the job is planned and how our teams work every day. 

Plan

Risks and methodology considered before work begins

Prepare

Trained teams, suitable plant and clear site controls

Deliver

Active supervision and safe working throughout the programme

QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT TEAMS

Our workforce is trained, experienced, and competent to carry out demolition activities safely. Operatives and supervisors hold relevant industry qualifications appropriate to their roles, and regularly undertake demolition-specific training through the National Demolition Training Group (NDTG). This ensures work is delivered in line with current regulations and recognised best practice.

3D PHASE PLANNING FOR SAFER DELIVERY

We use detailed 3D phase method statements to plan demolition activities before work begins on site. These visual plans allow all stakeholders to clearly understand sequencing, exclusion zones, access routes, and risk controls — reducing uncertainty and improving overall site safety.

By identifying challenges early, we create a controlled working environment that supports efficient delivery while protecting operatives, neighbouring properties, and the public.

Visual Project Sequencing

Each stage of the works is mapped out in a clear, structured format so teams understand exactly how the project will progress.

Improved Risk Identification

Potential hazards are recognised in advance, allowing preventative measures to be built into the methodology.

Better Client Communication

3D plans provide a transparent overview of operations, helping clients and principal contractors review and approve strategies with confidence.

Better Site Coordination

Logistics, traffic management, temporary works, and access arrangements are considered early to minimise disruption once works commence.

Our proactive approach supports safer sites, clearer decision-making, and more predictable project outcomes.

OUR COMMITMENT ON EVERY SITE

PLANNED BEFORE WORK STARTS
Risks, methods, and sequencing are agreed before mobilisation to avoid uncertainty once on site.
SUPERVISED AND CONTROLLED
Works are overseen by experienced management to ensure methods are followed and conditions remain safe.
REVIEWED THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT
Safety arrangements are monitored and adjusted as work progresses and site conditions change.
