This information sheet draws on insights from members of the Temporary Works Forum (TWf) and the Institution of Structural Engineers’ Safety, Health and Wellbeing Panel, to highlight how structural engineers should approach emergency situations. It explores how CDM duties apply, the role of temporary works in stabilising dangerous structures, and the practical steps engineers can take to contribute to safe and effective incident responses.
