Temporary Works Courses

CITB Temporary Works Courses

Temporary works are usually safety and business-critical and require careful supervision. An accepted way of achieving this is through the adoption of the management process outlined in BS5975 which introduces the Temporary Works Supervisor and Temporary Works Coordinator. This course explains the role and the overall management context within which it sits.

Temporary works supervisors and coordinators are often appointed to ensure that works are being conducted safely.
