Adjust the swing of the machinery, such as the MEWP or scaffold, to provide clear access to the first set of
panels to be removed.
Use appropriate tools and equipment to safely detach the fixings or fasteners securing the targeted panels.
Gently pry the panels away from the structure, taking care not to damage the underlying structure.
Place the removed panels on protective sheets or designated areas for disposal.
Progression and Rotation:

Once the first set of panels at the top level is removed, adjust the rotation of the machinery to provide access
to the next set of panels in the sequence.
Continue this process, gradually swinging the machinery as needed, to target and remove panels in a
systematic and efficient manner.
Ensure that the machinery remains stable and properly positioned at all times, adjusting the rotation and
positioning as necessary to maintain safe and convenient access to the panels.
Safety and Coordination:

Throughout the process, prioritize safety by following proper procedures and using appropriate personal
protective equipment.
