Aims and Objectives
This course is not a temporary works awareness course. It is only concerned with the process of coordination of temporary works, commonly expressed through the role of the Temporary Works Coordinator. Attendance does not confer competency as a Temporary Works Co-ordinator.
To ensure that all those given temporary works co-ordinating responsibilities understand:

• the need for and duties of a TWC
• the role of others
• the BS5975 in respect of this role.
• The importance of the ‘4Cs’: communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competency
• the need for risk management:
At the end of the course delegates will be able to:
• understand the duties of a TWC and the role of others
• have detailed knowledge and understanding of the BS 5975
• understand how to manage risk
• implement the ‘4Cs’ effectively in the workplace

The Temporary Works Coordinator course will enable delegates to understand the needs and duties of a Temporary Works Co-ordinator and will also give them both an overview of Temporary Works and in depth understanding of BS5975 (Code of practice for temporary works procedures and the permissible stress design of falsework).

The course is supported by a number of organisations including Temporary Works Forum CECA,
Build UK, HSE and FMB, which enables transferability of the training within industry.
Temporary works are safety and business-critical and require careful co-ordination. An accepted way
of achieving this is through the adoption of the management process outlined in BS 5975, which
introduces the temporary works co-ordinator (TWC) as a key figure. This course explains the role and
the overall management context within which it sits.
High risk can occur on small as well as larger sites hence, understanding the essentials of good
safety risk management, as outlined in BS5975, is relevant for projects of all sizes.
This course will give the delegate thorough knowledge of the Temporary Works Co-ordinator role,
However, this does not alone make a delegate competent, as this requires other attributes e.g.
experience
