Is all demolition work notifiable or does it need to meet the 30 days 500 hours criteria?

It needs to meet the criteria to be notified. But in reality the non-notifiable work still needs something similar to the CP Plan in any case.

Also there is a residual duty on the client to update the H&S File with the information from even non-notifiable work.

The real difference is therefore the CDMC involvement.

CDM2007 Demolition no longer automatic notifiable (unless thresholds are reached) BUT all demolition required to have a written plan.

Demolition is specficially excluded from Notification within CDM Regs, but you still require risk assessment and method statement.

Ali, "Demolition is specifically excluded from Notification within CDM Regs, but you still require risk assessment and method statement."

Where did you get that from?

The ACOP contains definitions of "not construction work" with no mention of demolition. Please check your facts.

Demolition or dismantling
29.—(1) The demolition or dismantling of a structure, or part of a structure, shall be planned and
carried out in such a manner as to prevent danger or, where it is not practicable to prevent it, to
reduce danger to as low a level as is reasonably practicable.
(2) The arrangements for carrying out such demolition or dismantling shall be recorded in
writing before the demolition or dismantling work begins.

It is notifiable under CDM once it reaches the threshold, the all or most of the regulations kick in
Hope this helps
