Overview
The development of these courses was supported by a number of organisations: including the Temporary Works Forum and the Health and Safety Executive.

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 5975:2019, which introduces the temporary works co-ordinator (TWC) as a key figure. This course explains the role and its overall management context.

Temporary works on both smaller and larger sites can be high risk activities. Therefore, understanding the essentials of good risk and safety management, as outlined in BS 5975:2019, is relevant for projects of all sizes.

The course gives emphasis throughout to the importance of communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competency (the '4Cs'), risk management, safety and business relations, allowing the (TWC) to:

  • understand the need for and duties of a temporary works co-ordinator
  • understand the role of others
  • have a detailed knowledge and understanding of BS 5975 in respect of this role.
Certification for these courses are valid for 5 years. To remain certified in this area, you will need to retake the course before the expiry date.
