Section 2: Procedural control of temporary works
6 Procedures
6.1
6.1.1
Introduction to procedural control
General
6.1.1.1
When a project has, or might be anticipated to have, the requirement for any temporary works, the
organizations listed in 6.1.1.2 should have and implement a procedure which outlines how that
organization is to discharge its duties in relation to the temporary works. A description of what
temporary works can entail is given in 5.1.1.1.
6.1.1.2
The following organizations should have procedures covering roles, responsibilities and appointments,
all with the intention of removing ambiguity and making the PC9s overall responsibilities clear.
(Domestic clients are a special case and the organizations they employ and their roles and
responsibilities are addressed in 7.4.)
a)
Clients.
b)
Management/cost consultants (this includes architects acting for a client).
c)
Contractors/sub-contractors/specialist contractors (including demolition contractors) all of
which manage their own temporary works. This includes third-party employed contractors, such
as utility providers and their contractors.
d)
Temporary works designers and permanent works designers.
e)
Manufacturers/suppliers.
NOTE
6.1.1.3
Any organization employing another organization to carry out design or construction, in relation
to temporary works, should check that they are competent to do so (see 3.13 for a definition of
competent person). Specific requirements, roles and responsibilities of each of the parties identified
within each organization are set down in 6.1.4.
NOTE
6.1.1.4
Some organizations have multiple responsibilities, e.g. utility providers, management contractors.
This general recommendation is used in various clauses of the HSE Guidance L153 [4].
Where more than one contractor is present during the construction phase, each contractor should coordinate the planning, management and monitoring of their own work with that of the PC in relation
to their temporary works.
