Red Fox Construction & Contracting’s EXAMPLE Temporary Works Procedure is intended as guidance for small to medium sized contractors (SMEs) who are managing small projects that involve them in temporary works. Once amended and adopted it becomes a company procedure; responsibility for its content is that of the company.
The Health and Safety Executive recommends that “for smaller contractors, the principles of BS5975 should be in place if not the formal and specific procedures, in particular:
Ensuring a suitably competent temporary works designer/ adviser is in place to supply an engineered solution
Adequate information flow
Design checking to an appropriate level
Suitable verification of correct erection of the temporary works and someone overseeing and co-ordinating the whole process”
Using this Temporary Works Organogram will help to:
Assign responsibility for the different phases in managing temporary works
Ensure information continues to flow in the right direction
Identify where sufficient experience is not included within the project team
Working as an independent consultant, Red Fox Construction & Contracting provides comprehensive temporary works support, advice and guidance to your project team.
