Starting on 28 April 2026, the group will meet online with three meetings scheduled in May and June.

This initiative aims to bring together professionals from across the sector to exchange knowledge and practical experience to build a clearer understanding of the types of dust generated on demolition sites, the risks they pose and what can realistically be done to control them.

The working group will take a practical approach, breaking down how dust is generated across different demolition activities and what influences its spread on site.

By looking closely at real conditions and processes, the group aims to identify clear, applicable solutions that can be implemented in day-to-day operations.

The outcome will be a practical guide designed for everyday use, not just by contractors, but also by clients and asset owners.

Participants will help shape a document that reflects real challenges on site, offering guidance on planning, technical measures, worker protection and monitoring.

EDA members and national association members are invited to join and contribute.
