BS 5975:2024 Support

Help to set up and run a temporary works procedure that people actually use — registers, roles, briefs and check categories that fit your project.

What this covers

BS 5975:2024 sets out good practice for the management of temporary works. We help contractors put a workable system in place — with reference to BS 5975:2024 and tailored to project size — so control is real, not just paperwork.

  • Temporary works procedure set-up and review
  • Temporary Works Register structure and upkeep
  • TWC and TWS roles, duties and competence
  • Design brief templates and content
  • Design check category guidance (0–3)
  • Coordination, sign-off and permit-to-load flow

How we word it

  • Guidance is provided with reference to BS 5975:2024 and project-specific procedures.
  • Systems support does not transfer statutory duties or replace appointed roles.
  • Implementation remains the responsibility of the appointed project team.

Typical deliverables

  • A working Temporary Works Register template
  • Design brief and check-category guidance
  • Role and responsibility clarity for your team

When contractors use this

  • Setting up temporary works control on a new project
  • An audit or client has flagged gaps in the system
  • Roles and responsibilities are unclear
  • The register and briefs need bringing up to standard
