MAP Construction
Temporary Works Management
Temporary works coordination and control to BS 5975 — competent coordinators, disciplined registers and a procedure that works on a live site.
The capability
Temporary works carry some of the highest structural risk on any site and attract the least attention — right up until a load goes on. Control depends on procedure being followed, not merely written.
MAP consultants take on the management roles that BS 5975 defines: Temporary Works Coordinators and Temporary Works Supervisors who run the register, commission designs through proper briefs, confirm the required category of check has been completed, and control erection, loading and striking on site through formal permits. This is the coordination and control of temporary works — design itself sits with MAP Design and with contractors' own designers.
Our consultants have coordinated temporary works on major infrastructure and energy sites where the schemes were numerous, concurrent and structurally significant. They also review the system itself: gap analysis of a contractor's temporary works procedure against BS 5975, and honest assessment of whether appointed people carry the competence their roles demand.
How MAP delivers it
Support covers site-based coordination roles and independent review of the management system behind them.
TWC and TWS roles
Appointed Temporary Works Coordinators and Supervisors embedded on site, carrying the responsibilities BS 5975 assigns — not observing them from a distance.
Briefs and register control
Design briefs that give designers what they actually need, and a live register that tracks every scheme from identification to removal.
Permits and site control
Formal permit regimes for erection, loading and striking, with physical checks on site before each permit is signed.
Procedure and competence review
Independent review of temporary works procedures against BS 5975, and of whether appointments, training and oversight match the risk on the ground.
