This one day course is designed for those on site who have responsibility for supervising temporary works. The course will provide candidates with a thorough knowledge of the role of a Temporary Works Supervisor.
This course is designed to suit employees of civil engineering and building contractors as well as specialist contractors such as utilities. It is aimed at all those site staff who wish to be considered for appointment as Temporary Works Supervisors. It is also eminently suitable for experienced and competent foremen wishing to become more formally recognised as TWS’s.
This course is designed to give confidence to senior management that they are providing the training required for employees as part of their competency requirements in the role of TWS.
The course is based on Section 2 of BS5975:2008 +A1:2011. Detailed, well-illustrated course literature will be provided.
This is not a temporary works awareness course.
