The course is aimed at those who hold, or are about to hold, the role of a temporary works coordinator and wish to progress to the next professional level.

It may also be of interest to others involved in the temporary works coordination process including:

• Site and project managers
• Designers and supervisors working for clients
• Consultants and contractors who need a detailed awareness of the safety and technical implications of temporary works

NOTE: It is mandatory for all delegates to have a comprehensive understanding of BS 5975:2019.

Designed to assist those on site who have responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works, this course explains the role and the overall management context within which the Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) sits. The course is primarily concerned with the process of coordination of temporary works, commonly expressed through the role of the Temporary Works Coordinator.

It will also give senior management and those engaging with contractors the confidence to reach an assessed standard of knowledge.

SSG offer this course over two days as a classroom or virtual course.

Successful candidates will gain knowledge and skills in:

• The importance of the ‘4Cs’: communication, cooperation, coordination and competency in managing temporary works as a TWC
• Understanding the needs for and duties of a temporary works coordinator
• Understanding the roles of others involved in temporary works projects
• The details of BS5975, the code of best practice for temporary structures on building sites
• Statutory aspects of temporary works
• Risk assessments and method statements
• Management of the temporary works process

NOTE: Attendance does not confer competency as a Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC). This comes from a mixture of education, training and experience and should be judged by an appropriate senior individual, usually referred to as the Designated Individual (DI). Training is considered an essential element of Temporary Works Coordinator competence.

Assessment of delegates is through continuous attendance and involvement in the full two-day course as well as a multiple-choice test at the end of the course. Successful delegates will receive a CITB renewable certificate which is valid for five years. To remain certified, delegates will need to complete the refresher course prior to the expiry date.
