Course description
Temporary Works Co-ordinator Training Course
The CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator course is also designed to give confidence to senior management and those who engage contractors that they have a recognised standard of knowledge and understanding.
Situations involving complex temporary works may 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 participant thorough knowledge of the Temporary Works Co-ordinator role. Please note that attendance of this course does not confirm competency as a Temporary Works Co-ordinator. Competence will come from a mixture of education, training and experience. However, training is considered an essential element of TWC competence.
Site Safety Plus ask that participants refer to the current British Standards BS5975 for Temporary Works (Code of Practice) prior to their training.
