BRITISH STANDARD
6.2.2
Where a contractor has been appointed to manage their own temporary works the relevant TWC
should also prepare and maintain a local temporary works register. The TWC should provide relevant
information to the PC9s TWC to enable the master temporary works register to be maintained. It
should be provided each time it is updated and at a regular agreed interval. The register should be in
a common format to allow incorporation of the TWC9s data into the PC9s TWC9s master register for
the project.
6.2.3
A temporary works register should include:
a)
reference number and short description;
b)
date design brief issued;
c)
date required;
d)
risk classification of temporary works (see Table 1);
NOTE 1 The implementation risk classification might be influenced by the client9s requirements, such as
increasing the risk level for a particular section of temporary works.
e)
designer (company and/or individual);
f)
design checker (company and/or individual);
g)
design check category;
NOTE 2 The design check category can be influenced by the client9s or third-party9s requirements (see 13.7)
or by a minimum category of check for a particular type of temporary works set by the PC or contractor.
6.2.4
h)
date design completed;
i)
date design checked/approved;
j)
erection complete and checked with date of permit to load (bring into use);
k)
date of permit to unload (take out of use) as necessary; and
l)
third-party approvals.
The register is an important management tool, and the company should have a process by which
such registers are regularly audited. The auditing should be carried out by someone familiar with
temporary works.

General (Commercial/public clients)
There are three possible scenarios for client roles.
a)
The client takes on the role of PD, or the client employs the PC to construct the works
(this implies that the PC is paid for all work, however it is procured, and is responsible for the
whole project).
b)
The client appoints a PC but retains the appointment of contractors and suppliers.
c)
The client does not appoint a PC and appoints contractors and suppliers directly, and therefore
the client takes on the role of PC.
All clients initiating construction projects where temporary works are involved should have in place a
procedure to define their duties in relation to the management of temporary works and assist the PC
in controlling any temporary works.
NOTE A domestic client is not normally expected to carry out the same duties as placed on a commercial
client (see 7.4).
