Temporary Works and Design Risk Management

12 Oct

Temporary works are a critical but often overlooked aspect of construction safety. Under CDM 2015, risks associated with temporary works must be considered during design to ensure safe implementation on site.

The Principal Designer (CDM) helps ensure these risks are identified and communicated effectively.

Key risks

Structural instability during construction.
Unsafe access arrangements.
Interaction with permanent works.

We support design teams by:

Highlighting temporary works risks early.
Ensuring coordination between designers and contractors.
Promoting buildable and safe design solutions.

Benefits for housing providers

Reduced on-site risk.
Better planning of construction activities.
Improved overall safety performance.

Conclusion

Considering temporary works at design stage is essential to safe construction.
