Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Falsework, formwork, excavation support, propping, scaffolding, crane bases and many other temporary structures make permanent construction possible. Because they are temporary, they are sometimes treated with less care than permanent works, yet temporary works failures have caused some of the most serious accidents and costly delays in the industry.
This Temporary Works Design and Management training course explains how to identify, design, check, install, inspect and remove temporary works safely. Participants learn about temporary works procedures, coordinator and supervisor roles, design briefs and categories of design check, loading and stability principles, ground conditions, permits to load and dismantle, and the interface with permanent works.
The course is relevant to contractors, designers and clients, and emphasises the management systems and communication that prevent failures.
