Poistotyö

Poistotyö is a Finnish term describing work aimed at removing, dismantling, or decommissioning objects, structures, or materials from a site. It covers activities ranging from stripping equipment to demolishing buildings and clearing debris, and is commonly part of construction, renovation, site remediation, or urban cleanup projects.

Typically, the work begins with scope definition and planning, including hazard assessment and waste management planning. Permits or notifications may be required under local regulations. A method statement outlines the sequence of operations, the equipment to be used, and the safety controls. The work proceeds with appropriate supervision, access controls, personal protective equipment, and monitoring for risks such as moving machinery, falls, dust, noise, and exposure to hazardous substances.

Environmental considerations focus on waste classification, segregation, and the recycling or safe disposal of materials in accordance with applicable rules. Effective planning and coordination with other site activities help minimize disruption and environmental impact.

Common contexts for poistotyö include decommissioning of obsolete equipment, dismantling buildings or structures, site clearance after construction, and cleanup following accidents or natural events.

Related terms in Finnish industry include purku (dismantling) and jätehuolto (waste management), reflecting the broader scope of removing and handling materials on a site.
