Supervise activites to traditional and heritage buildings and structures
Overview
"This standard is about supervising activities to traditional and heritage buildings and structures involving controlling necessary resources, identifying defective works, faults or other issues and implementing corrective action and adopting safe, healthy and environmentally responsible work practices. It is for work activities for the repair, maintenance, conservation, alteration, adaption, energy efficiency retrofit, installation or replacement of building services for traditional (pre 1919) and heritage buildings in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction site supervision which is defined as the supervision of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by operatives, supervisors and managers"
