This webinar will be held on two separate dates, offering the same session each time — so please be sure to book only one.

Often overlooked but absolutely vital, temporary works are the unsung heroes of every construction project - critical to the success and safety of permanent structures. Under CDM Regulations, they must be carefully planned, managed, and inspected. But do you truly understand what they are, what’s required to build them, and how to manage them safely? This dynamic session will demystify temporary works, explore key legislation and guidance, and equip you with essential knowledge to ensure your projects are safe, compliant, and successful from the ground up. Don’t build blind - build smarter.
