Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) 1999You must have a good understanding of spoken and written English. Learners are expected to have a working knowledge of the following legislation:

1. Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
2. Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 
3. Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) 
4. Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) 
5. Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 
6. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 
7. The Personal Protective Equipment Regulations (PPE) 
8. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations
9. The Work at Height Regulations 

A key issue for temporary works is health and safety, so learners need to be prepared to discuss how health and safety legislation is relevant to temporary works, as well as which Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and guidance notes may assist or contribute to safe practices in temporary works.

Learners need to be prepared to discuss and explore all the core health and safety factors that are integrated into temporary works processes at all stages of a project, from initiation to closure. They will need to have working knowledge of all associated legislation, specifically the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in terms of its intention and compliance. Learners must also have a thorough understanding of health and safety principles and understand the importance of risk management, design considerations, inspection and testing and recording and monitoring requirements.

Learners who have achieved a certificate approved against the Health and Safety in Construction Site Supervision standard (such as SSSTS or SSSTS-R) or the Health and Safety in Construction Site Management standard (such as SMSTS or SMSTS-R), will have gained the knowledge to meet these expectations. This is not a mandatory pre-requisite, but learners with these achievements will benefit from having this knowledge before attending the course.

To further support learners, CITB has created a Temporary Works Awareness eLearning course which provides a foundation of the points that will be expanded on in this course. It explores how health and safety legislation plays a pivotal role in temporary works, and how documents which are common to more generic construction activities are a useful aid for planning and the ongoing management and monitoring of temporary works.
