Temporary works are a vital part of construction projects. They include scaffolding, props, formwork, shoring and other short-term structures that make permanent works possible. Managing them correctly is essential for safety, compliance and efficiency on site.

At Target Zero, we deliver CITB approved Temporary Works training online, giving site professionals the knowledge and confidence to manage temporary works effectively.

What does Temporary Works training online involve?

Our online Temporary Works courses are live tutor-led sessions that cover:

  • The legal framework and industry standards for temporary works
  • Roles and responsibilities of duty holders under BS5975
  • Risk management and the importance of method statements
  • The design, checking and implementation process
  • Communication and co-ordination across project teams

The content is the same as in the classroom, but delivered online for flexibility and convenience. Learners can interact with trainers, join group discussions and complete exercises in real time.

Which course is right for you?

We offer two main online Temporary Works training options, each aimed at different roles:

1. Temporary Works Co-ordinator Online Course

This course is designed for individuals who are, or about to be, appointed as Temporary Works Co-ordinators. It covers managing the overall temporary works process, supervising teams and ensuring compliance with BS5975.

2. Temporary Works Supervisor Online Course

This option is for those who will be responsible for supervising temporary works on site. It focuses on understanding procedures, supporting the Co-ordinator and ensuring activities are carried out safely and correctly.

Who needs Temporary Works training?

These courses are essential for:

  • Site managers and engineers appointed as Co-ordinators or Supervisors
