The article presents the results of the study of negative factors that accompany the process of building demolition and reduce the environmental safety of urban environment. Based on the system analysis of scientific research, the graph of the impact of negative factors on humans and the environment was compiled. The relevance of the study is justified by the need to ensure environmental safety in the production of demolition works. The purpose of the study was to identify the dependence of the level of negative impact on the characteristics of technological equipment and to improve the system of selecting protective measures, taking into account the requirements of legislation in the field of environmental safety. The result of the research is the developed conceptual model of decision-making on the choice and justification of the method of ensuring environmental safety during the liquidation of buildings in the conditions of dense construction on the basis of reducing the level of influence of negative factors. Practical application of the obtained results is possible in the design of building demolition as an additional justification for selecting the number and type of technological equipment, as well as an addition to the quality control system of works.
