TWCTC Training (CITB) Refresher - Temporary Works Co-ordinator Training

Who Should Attend: 

The refresher course is for delegates who have previously passed the full Temporary Works Co-Ordinator course or subsequent refresher course and can provide proof of attendance. 

Delegates are expected to have a working knowledge of the following legislation:

- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007
 - Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) 2015
- Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
 - Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
- The Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 1992
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
 - The Work at Height Regulations 2005

Delegates need to be prepared to discuss and explore all the core health and safety factors that are integrated into temporary works processes at all stages of a project, from initiation to closure. They will need to have working knowledge of all associated legislation, specifically the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in terms of its intention and compliance. Delegates must also have a thorough understanding of health and safety principles, and understand the importance of risk management, design considerations, inspection and testing and recording and monitoring requirements.

 

Delegates who have achieved a certificate approved against the Health and Safety in Construction Site Supervision standard (such as SSSTS or SSSTS-R) or the Health and Safety in Construction Site Management standard (such as SMSTS or SMSTS-R), will have gained the knowledge to meet these expectations. This is not a mandatory pre-requisite, but delegates with these achievements will benefit from having this knowledge before attending the course.

Aims & Objectives: 

The aim of these courses is to focus on the risk management of temporary works with particular attention on the role of the TWC.

They seek to consolidate and build on the risk management knowledge that delegates undertaking this role will have established through other experiences on site (likely in other supervisory and management roles) and focus on how to avoid failure in temporary works by adopting appropriate procedural controls, as outlined in BS 5875:2019.

The refresher course is an opportunity for learners who have attended the substantive TWCTC to revise and update their knowledge and understanding

- The need for and duties of a TWC
