Course Overview
The course gives emphasis throughout to the importance of communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competency (the 4Cs), risk management, safety and business relations, allowing the Temporary Works Co-ordinator TWC to:
- understand the need for and duties of a TWC
- understand the role of others
- have a detailed knowledge and understanding of BS 5975: 2019 in respect of this role
This course is constructed around BS 5975:2019 and delegates are expected to have a comprehensive understanding of BS 5975:2019 and a basic understanding of related H&S legislation and associated documentation.
Delegates unable to attend all of a course’s learning delivery schedule due to extenuating circumstances (for example, certificated sickness) will need to enrol on a new course in order to maintain continuity of learning outcomes.
To further support delegates, both CITB and the TWf have created a Temporary Works Awareness e-Learning which provides a foundation of the points that will be expanded on in this course. It explores how health and safety legislation plays a pivotal role in temporary works, and how documents which are common to more generic construction activities are a useful aid for planning and the ongoing management and monitoring of temporary works.
Both e-learning courses are free of charge:

Note: This does not confirm competency as a TWC once delegates have successfully completed the course but is for the purposes of continuing professional development (CPD), and learners must be considered along with experience, skill, knowledge and behaviour.
All training is conducted at our John Ryder Training Centre in Chertsey. Centre opening hours are 8am to 5.30pm, but this course commences at 8.30am and will finish at approx 5pm, unless otherwise stated in the joining instructions you receive.
Refreshments are included on all courses, but NO LUNCH is currently provided, but there are lots of lunch options within walking distance of the centre.
