Tasked with the demo of large amounts of fiber. Unsure of safety.

I'm working in a data center, and have been tasked with demoing large amounts of fiber (over 100 trunks of OM3/OM4 that are hundreds of feet long). This would be something they would hire a vendor for in the past, but it is now falling on us in house.

Cutting the fiber trunks into managable pieces for disposal seems like the way to go, but I'm worried about airborne glass, plus the fact that some of the fiber is wrapped in metal conduit.

Anyone have experience or safety tips doing a project like this? It's completely out of my field of expertise, so I have no idea where to begin.
