Guides / Permits and checks

Keeping the register

The temporary works register is the single list of every item of temporary works on a project.

What goes in it

• A reference for each item and what it is.
• Who the designer and checker are.
• The design check category.
• Where it has got to: designed, checked, built, loaded, in use, taken out of use.
• The permits issued and the dates.

Keeping it alive

A register that is filled in once and forgotten is no use. The coordinator should update it as things move, and review it at regular meetings. At any moment someone should be able to look at it and say what temporary works are standing on the site and what state each is in.

The Temporary Works Register template is in the shop.
