Can you sell HMS from demolition and construction sites, and what should you document?
Short answer: Yes, structural steel, beams, plate and reinforcing bar from demolition and construction are a major source of HMS, but you should confirm that the steel is yours or your client's to sell, remove any hazardous coatings and asbestos-containing material, keep a record of what was removed and where it went and agree in the contract who keeps the scrap proceeds.
