Relevant codes for temporary & permanent works designers

[Kiri Robbie]

Hi Justin, great presentation, are there any relevant codes or engineering texts that clearly delineate the responsibilities of the permanent and temporary works designers?

In Australia there are no codes or other practice nots that would outline the roles and responsibilities between PW and TW engineers. It is usually up to the clients or head contractors (dependent on the contract type) to outline who is doing what. On some occasions it is not outlined and can lead to confusions. Internationally there is one document that can be used as a basis for the delineation of roles. Have a look here Construction - Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (hse.gov.uk)
