To further support delegates, CITB has created a Temporary works awareness eLearning 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.

It is strongly recommended that delegates with limited knowledge on Temporary works complete this eLearning prior to attending this course. This is free to access here: CITB Temporary Works General Awareness
