Full Description

This part of BS 5975 gives recommendations and guidance on the procedural controls to be appliedto all aspects of temporary works in the construction industry.

It gives recommendations in relation to training and education, and for procedures to ensure thattemporary works are conceived, designed, specified, constructed, used and dismantled in a safe andcontrolled manner suitable for all construction projects. These procedures include clauses relating toall roles involved in temporary works: clients, permanent works designers, temporary works designers,contractors (including construction management organizations), suppliers and manufacturers.

Construction sites and methods adopted for controlling the temporary works vary. This part of BS 5975recognizes that the extent of control measures required is greater on the larger or more complex projects, as can be encountered on major infrastructure projects, power stations, airports, etc.

This part of BS 5975 is intended for use by all types of organizations, from small contractors usingtemporary works to very large organizations and/or utilities. The approach adopted in Section 2 is“organization focused” so the procedures for each organization are separated, which involves someduplication of text.

NOTE 1: The term "organization" includes clients, designers, permanent works designers, temporary works designers, principal designers, contractors, principal contractors, subcontractors, specialist contractors, third-party contractors and suppliers/manufacturers.

Additional client-specific procedures might be required on major infrastructure projects.

Recommendations for the design, as opposed to managing the design, are given in BS 5975‑2:2024.

NOTE 2: BS 5975‑2:2024 gives guidance necessary for the design of a safe system of falsework. Some clauses might be relevant and applicable to the design of other temporary works.
