Video – The threat from the embodied carbon lobby

What is “enough” demolition experience…?
A demolition veteran on LinkedIn this morning posted that he had been speaking to someone that was considering applying for a Demolition Supervisor competence card, despite the fact that they had just three years’ demolition experience.

So, based on that post and upon the popularity of our last survey, we decided to put it to the public/industry vote.
Below you will find a survey form with just one multiple choice question. Please let us have your thoughts:
