Plan Tunnelling activities
Overview
"This standard is about implementing tunnelling requirements, prioritising tunnelling activities and identifying and scheduling tunnelling requirements with decision-makers, 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 management which is defined as the management of multiple construction trades and disciplines and can be used by supervisors and managers"
