What are ‘temporary works’?
Temporary works are the needed as part of a construction project to enable permanent works to be built and are mostly removed after use. Temporary works include: access scaffolding, shoring, excavation support and falsework and formwork. Sometimes Temporary works are incorporated into the permanent works, such as crane or piling platforms used for road foundations. Like permanent works, they require the same level of safety and attention to detail.
