A key issue for temporary works is health and safety, so learners need to be prepared to discuss how health and safety legislation is relevant to temporary works, as well as which Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and guidance notes may assist or contribute to safe practices in temporary works.

Learners need to be prepared to discuss and explore all the core health and safety factors that are integrated into temporary works processes at all stages of a project, from initiation to closure. They will need to have working knowledge of all associated legislation, specifically the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in terms of its intention and compliance. Learners must also have a thorough understanding of health and safety principles and understand the importance of risk management, design considerations, inspection and testing and recording and monitoring requirements.

The TWCTC is a two-day course designed to be completed over two consecutive days. Learners must attend both days, complete the four mandatory exercises, pass the trainer review and pass the end-ofcourse assessment (15 hours learning plus breaks) to be eligible for certification.

Successful candidates will be awarded the Site Safety Plus CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator Training Certificate (TWCTC). This certificate will remain valid for 5 years.
