Course Description
The CCDO Demolition Supervisor card qualifies individuals to take responsibility for demolition operations on site, from planning and delivering site inductions to ensuring team communication is effective. Reporting directly to management, the Supervisor will also take control of implementation of HSQE systems.
The CCDO Demolition Manager Card is the most senior card available under the CCDO card scheme. After a 5 day course (usually spread over 5 weeks) holders will be qualified to take on the full responsibility of a demolition project, from Client and Surveyor Liaison to regular communication with supervisors about the running of the site.
