CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course (TWCTC)

CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course (TWCTC)

Accreditation: CITB
Course duration: 2 Days
Certificate valid for: 5 Years

The Temporary Works Coordinator course is supported by a number of organisations including Temporary Works Forum CECA, Build UK, HSE and FMB, which enables transferability of the training within industry.

Temporary works are safety and business-critical and require careful co-ordination. An accepted way of achieving this is through the adoption of the management process outlined in BS 5975, which introduces the temporary works coordinator (TWC) as a key figure. This course explains the role and the overall management context within which it sits.

High risk can occur on small as well as larger sites hence, understanding the essentials of good safety risk management, as outlined in BS5975, is relevant for projects of all sizes.

This course will give the delegate thorough knowledge of the Temporary Works Coordinator role, However, this does not alone make a delegate competent, as this requires other attributes e.g. experience.

Who Should Attend

The two day Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course (TWCTC) is designed to assist those on site who have responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works. The Temporary Works Coordinator course has been designed to give confidence to senior management, and to ensure that those who engage contractors have an assessed standard of knowledge.

Assessment:

Assessment will be by multiple choice questions at the end of the course.  Delegates are also expected to be interactive during the course.

At the end of the course delegates will be able to:

• understand the duties of a TWC and the role of others

• have detailed knowledge and understanding of the BS 5975
