CITB Temporary Works Coordinator (TWCTC) Course in Bolton, Greater Manchester (Classroom)

Two-Day Training for Those Managing Temporary Works on Site

Course Aims & Objectives

The aim of this CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course is to focus on the risk management of temporary works, with particular attention on the role of the Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC).

It seeks to consolidate and build on the risk management knowledge that delegates undertaking this role will have established through other experience on site, likely in other supervisory and management roles, and focuses on how to avoid failure in temporary works by adopting appropriate procedural controls, as outlined in BS 5975:2019.

Who Should Attend?

There are no formal entry requirements; however, 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

A key issue for temporary works is health and safety, so delegates need to be prepared to discuss how health and safety legislation is relevant to temporary works, and which Approved Codes of Practice may assist or contribute to safe practice. They will need a working knowledge of the associated legislation, specifically the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and an understanding of risk management, design considerations, inspection and testing, and recording and monitoring requirements.

Delegates who hold a site supervision or site management safety certificate (such as SSSTS or SMSTS) will have gained the knowledge to meet these expectations. This is not a mandatory prerequisite, but delegates will benefit from having this knowledge before attending.
