OSHA Engineering Survey Requirement for Demolition
The OSHA Engineering Survey Requirement is the legally required, prework engineering assessment that determines whether a structure is stable enough to undergo demolition without causing
unintended collapse, worker injury, or uncontrolled failure. OSHA requires that this survey be performed by a competent person experienced in demolition operations, and that its findings directly inform
the demolition plan, sequencing, and safety controls.

Grokking is the individual form of the SID Demolition Handshake.
The SID Demolition Handshake aligns team members around shared meaning, shared risk understanding, and shared next actions.
Grokking occurs when that same alignment happens within an individual. It is the moment a person moves beyond learning isolated information and begins to understand how concepts, evidence,
decisions, and outcomes connect into a coherent whole.
Before teams can align, individuals must first Grok. The SID Demolition Handshake extends that understanding across people,
helping ensure that everyone is working from the same interpretation, the same evidence, and the same intended direction.
