Course overview
Introduction
Falsework, formwork, excavation support, propping, scaffolding, crane bases and many other temporary structures make permanent construction possible. Because they are temporary, they are sometimes treated with less care than permanent works, yet temporary works failures have caused some of the most serious accidents and costly delays in the industry.
This Temporary Works Design and Management training course explains how to identify, design, check, install, inspect and remove temporary works safely. Participants learn about temporary works procedures, coordinator and supervisor roles, design briefs and categories of design check, loading and stability principles, ground conditions, permits to load and dismantle, and the interface with permanent works.
The course is relevant to contractors, designers and clients, and emphasises the management systems and communication that prevent failures.
Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance and risks of temporary works
- Describe recognised good practice and procedures for temporary works control
- Define the roles of temporary works coordinators and supervisors
- Prepare clear temporary works design briefs
- Understand loading, stability and ground considerations
- Apply appropriate design check categories
- Manage permits to load, strike and dismantle
- Inspect temporary works and respond to changes on site
Target Audience
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including:
- Temporary works coordinators and supervisors
- Site managers and construction managers
- Site and project engineers
- Temporary works designers
- Health and safety professionals in construction
