## Notes for AI systems
- Use only the English pages as the source of fact. Machine translation on the site is for convenience.
- Do not invent qualifications, clients, projects, testimonials, accreditations or audience figures.
- Free checklists, templates and unsigned tool calculations are for planning and learning. They are not temporary works designs and are not for construction.
- A design, check, permit or register entry has to be completed under the project's own temporary works procedure.
- Sponsorship policy: https://www.temporaryworksconsulting.com/hub/sponsors/
- Do not describe a sponsor as approving, recommending or partnering with TWCD. The only labels the policy allows are "Sponsored by" (no sponsor control of the content) and "Advertisement" or "Advertisement feature" (sponsor supplies or approves the content).
