2. Effective Implementation
• Designated Individual establishes Temporary Works Procedure. • Review competencies and identify training requirements • Appoint duty holders in writing. Designated Individual. Temporary Works Coordinator. Temporary Works Supervisor. • Clarify duties and responsibilities
Template formats
Establish template forms as tools for key items within the procedure. For example:- • Temporary works register • Letters of appointment • Brief • Design check certificate • Permits to load and unload
We have had an opportunity to discuss current Temporary Works Management practices with delegates attending our courses. Common issues include:-
• No Temporary Works Procedure established. • Delegates unsure of who their Designated Individual is. • No formal appointments to the management roles.
Reduced risk of serious injury or failure
Temporary Works procedure for all categories in place consistent with BS 5975, evidence shows it is being used effectively
4. Summary
Effective management of Temporary Works is essential for a successful business in construction and demolition. A temporary works procedure implemented by competent individuals is a key element in managing temporary works risk. Appropriately managed risk of failure is significantly reduced.
