Temporary Works Coordinator Training

Temporary works failures are rarely caused by a single mistake. They occur when designs are used before approval, inspections are missed, or site changes are made without proper review and sign-off. Temporary Works Coordinators sit at the centre of that control. Without a clear understanding of their documents, decisions and responsibilities, the risk of unsafe work moving into live construction is real.

This toolkit strengthens TWCs’ knowledge of their role under BS 5975 and CDM 2015. It helps them understand which decisions carry the greatest responsibility, where coordination failures typically occur, and what effective control looks like in practice. It supports site managers, engineers and project teams in building a consistent approach to temporary works management across the organisation. It also helps maintain the records needed to demonstrate compliance during HSE inspections, audits and client reviews.
