Temporary Works Procedural Control - Good Practice Guide

This Procedural Control document has been developed to provide freely available advice for the industry on how to manage temporary works on projects. It intends to provide minimum requirements for their management and delivery aided by example documents that could be adopted for use.
If you are involved with temporary works, we would appreciate it if you could read the document and provide feedback on its content. Once we receive feedback from the industry in Australia, we intend to adopt comments if appropriate and seek industry endorsement. Be part of the review and help raise the bar in the industry. Thank you!

First draft  for input from the community.

Over the past year the Temporary Works Forum Australia have modified the Clients guide to temporary works developed by the TWf (UK) so that it may be applicable to a wider audience than just practitioners within the UK.  Some prescriptive elements of BS5975:2019, code of practice for temporary works procedures and the permissible stress design of falsework, have been removed giving clients and designers flexibility to assign roles that are prescribed by legislation in the UK.  The purpose of this document is to help the industry, ensure all roles in delivery of temporary works are filled, assess, consequence of failure risk,  design risks, execution risks and to properly assess scope of works.

We would appreciate feedback from members of our community to help improve this guidance.  Please go to 'Forums' to leave comment.
