Temporary Works and the Principal Designer

The Temporary Works forum's (TWf) released a new guidance on the role of the Principal Designer (in CDM2015) and ICE Training has now aligned its CDM2015: The Principal Designer and Designer - Demonstrating Capability programme to further assist attendees in incorporating temporary works planning into the pre-construction phase.

What's new?

The course will now also look at the importance of considering potential temporary works from the earliest stages of the project and will provide a key link between permanent works designers and those who coordinate and design major temporary works.

Temporary Works have traditionally been viewed as a Principal Contractor issue. However, the creation of the Principal Designer role in the CDM 2015 regulations has instigated a different set of responsibilities so this newest addition hopes to fill the void in information and be useful for the UK construction industry.
