Description

Overview

The rationale for the Temporary Works General Awareness Training Course is to:

Raise awareness and impart knowledge of what constitutes temporary works, how they are used, their safety critical importance, common temporary works issues and the temporary works management process

Raise awareness of the roles and responsibilities involved in the temporary works process

To raise standards and improve knowledge which could be applied across industry, and accepted with confidence
Allow a transferable knowledge base between employers, thus avoiding unnecessary supplementary training.

Learning objectives

Attendance does not confer competency as a Temporary Works Co-ordinator or Supervisor but is for the purposes of Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The course gives emphasis to:

What constitutes temporary works, how they are used, their safety critical importance, common temporary works issues and the temporary works management process
Update delegates on latest publications and issues relating to temporary works

Who should attend?

This course is in addition to the Temporary Works Co-ordinator and Temporary Works Supervisor training courses (referred to hereafter as TWCTC and TWSTC) and is designed to provide training for those involved in the temporary works process but who are not undertaking the role of Temporary Works Co-ordinator or Supervisor as defined in BS5975:2008 + A1:2011 (referred to hereafter as ‘BS5975’).

If delegates are to perform the functions of Temporary Works Co-ordinator or Temporary Works Supervisor then they should attend TWCTC or TWSTC.

The course assumes limited or no detailed previous knowledge of temporary works.

Additional information

Assessment:
The method of assessment will be by multiple-choice questions at the end of the course, as well as the delegate being expected to be interactive during the course.

The pass mark for the multiple-choice test is 72%.
