CITB Temporary Works Supervisor
  • One day
  • CITB
  • From £265

Overview

Temporary works are safety- and business-critical and require careful co-ordination. An accepted way of achieving this is through the adoption of the management process outlined in BS 5975:2019, which introduces the temporary works supervisor (TWS) as a key figure. This course explains the role and its overall management context.

Temporary works on both smaller and larger sites can be high risk activities. Therefore, understanding the essentials of good risk and safety management, as outlined in BS 5975:2019, is relevant for projects of all sizes.
Course Content
The course gives emphasis throughout to the importance of communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competency (the 4Cs), risk management, safety and business relations, allowing the TWS to:
•Understand the need for and duties of a TWS
•Understand the role of others
•Have a detailed knowledge and understanding of BS 5975 in respect of this role.
Delegates who achieve 72% or higher will receive their CITB TWS certificate, which will be valid for five years.
This classroom course is a highly interactive course taught through case studies, discussion, group work and individual or group presentations.

Delegates will be continuously assessed during the course in preparation for the final assessment. The assessment is multiple-choice and will be undertaken under test conditions.
To remain certified in this area, you will need to retake the course before the expiry date.
