Introduction

Competence of individuals in delivering outstanding and safe projects is fundamental and training a key element.

Temporary Works course tomorrow

The NDTG has a Temporary Works course happening tomorrow. It's for Supervisors who have previously attended and completed the Demolition 12 week or 5 day Demolition Supervisor course, and ensures that Supervisors/Coordinators are informed and aware of their responsibilities with regards to Temporary Works.

The course includes:

• What are Temporary Works?
• The role of a Temporary Works Supervisor
• Practical guidance on the co-ordination and checking of temporary works on site

It may be a little short notice to get on this course tomorrow, but get in touch with the NDTG if you are interested in when it will be run again in the future.

Is Temporary Works Training becoming a Permanent Requirement?

More and more of our customers are now undergoing training in temporary works for Co-ordinator or Supervisor and we wonder if this trend will become a permanent feature of our training schedule in 2014.

The change is being driven by UKCG companies to ensure that demolition companies undertaking work on UKCG sites have fully trained personnel in the required roles of Temporary Works Co-ordinator and Temporary Works Supervisor.

If your team require temporary works training why not book onto a C&D course now by emailing margaret@demolishdismantle.co.uk for more details and a quotation.
