What are the requirements for British Standard 5975 Design Temporary Falsework?

BS 5975 is the code of practice for temporary works procedures. It gives guidance and

recommendations on the procedures to be applied to all aspects of temporary works on a

project.

It also includes guidance on design, specification, construction, use and dismantling

of falsework and guidance on permissible stress design of falsework. As a simple

breakdown:

Section 1 - BS 5975 gives recommendations in relation to training and education in

temporary works and temporary works procedures.

Section 2 - BS 5975 gives recommendations for the procedures required to ensure that

temporary works are conceived, designed, specified, constructed, used and dismantled in a

safe and controlled manner suitable for all construction projects.

Section 3 - BS 5975 covers the design of temporary works and in particular the design of

falsework and relevant formwork.
