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

Who Should Attend? 

This one-day refresher course is for those responsible for managing all forms of temporary works who have previously completed the 2-day Temporary Works Coordinator CITB Qualification or subsequent refresher course and hold a valid certificate.

Introduction

The development of these courses was supported by several 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, 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, is relevant for projects of all sizes.

The temporary works coordinator training course refresher is to provide updates to changes within the industry and ensure individuals maintain Continual Professional Development (CPD) to those responsible for monitoring and managing temporary works to ensure management systems are suitable and sufficient when undertaking temporary works on a project, it identifies and covers the risk and safety management processes outlined in the temporary works code of practice BS 5975.

An accepted way of mitigating risks associated with temporary works is through the adoption of the management process outlined in BS5975 which introduces the Temporary Works Co-ordinator as a key figure. This course will revisit 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 is not a Temporary Works Awareness course. It is only concerned with the process of co-ordination of temporary works, commonly expressed through the role of the Temporary Works Co-ordinator. Attendance does not confer competency as a Temporary Works Co-ordinator; 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 Co-ordinator competence.
