In the high-risk world of construction, temporary works coordinator training play a crucial role in ensuring both efficiency and safety. Whether it’s scaffolding, shoring, falsework, or formwork – temporary works are everywhere on site. But are your teams trained to manage them properly?
If you’re working in or progressing toward a Temporary Works Coordinator or Supervisor role, this blog breaks down the top training options and why it’s vital to stay qualified – including refresher routes.
What Are Temporary Works?
Temporary works are structures or systems that support the main construction process but are not part of the final project. This includes access platforms, trench supports, propping systems and many more. Poorly managed temporary works can lead to project delays, safety breaches, and even serious accidents.
That’s why the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) place a strong emphasis on the coordination and supervision of temporary works.
The Role of a Temporary Works Coordinator Training (TWC)
A Temporary Works Coordinator is appointed to manage the planning, design, checking and implementation of temporary works on site. The role requires both technical knowledge and the authority to implement safety protocols.
At Target Zero Training, we deliver the Temporary Works Coordinator Course accredited by CITB. This two-day training covers:
- BS 5975 procedures
- Legal duties and regulations
- Risk management strategies
- Effective communication with contractors and designers
This is the ideal course if you’re a Site Manager, Engineer, or Project Manager responsible for temporary works.
