Who Should Attend the Temporary Works Co-Ordinator Refresher Course?

This course is for those on site with responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works. It is designed to give confidence to senior management and those who engage with contractors, that candidates have reached an assessed standard of knowledge.

Course aim:

The aim of these courses is to focus on the risk management of temporary works with particular attention on the role of the TWC.

They seek to consolidate and build on the risk management knowledge that learners undertaking this role will have established through other experiences on site (likely in other supervisory and management roles) and focus on how to avoid failure in temporary works by adopting appropriate procedural controls, as outlined in BS 5875:2019.

The refresher course is an opportunity for learners who have attended the substantive TWCTC to revise and update their knowledge and understanding.

Learning outcomes:

• the need for and duties of a TWC
• the other key roles involved in temporary works
• the use of BS 5975:2019 in relation to the role
• typical documents used in temporary works
• other legislation and guidance that interact with temporary works
• the importance of the 4Cs: communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competence
• the need for risk management.

The refresher course expects the same underpinning knowledge and understanding to be demonstrated by learners.

Assessment method:

Full attendance of all 7.5 hours is mandatory, and candidates will be continually assessed during the course. There is a multiple-choice assessment test at the end of the course.

Certification

Successful candidates will receive a CITB Site Safety Plus certificate, which is issued on completion and valid for 5 years.
