Formwork and temporary works

Build to the drawing, brace both ways, get it certified, clear the area during the pour.

Key points

  • Every formwork job needs a trained formwork supervisor. Nobody erects, alters or strikes formwork without one present.
  • A PE designs formwork over 9 m high, shores in two or more tiers, or slabs or beams thicker than 300 mm.
  • No concrete goes into PE-designed formwork until the PE has inspected and certified it, including any changes.
  • Keep people away during the pour unless their job needs them there. Strike only once the concrete has set.
