CITB TEMPORARY WORKS COORDINATOR TRAINING COURSE

• The main aim of these courses is to focus on the process of co-ordination of temporary works, commonly expressed through the role of the temporary works co-ordinator (TWC).

• These courses are not technical awareness courses for temporary works, although there are elements of technical awareness that are signposted throughout and that must be included in the course exercises.

• Attendance does not demonstrate competency as a TWC: 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 TWC competence.

This course is for those who have on-site responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works. Learners 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.

There are no formal entry requirements. However, delegates must 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.
