THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
A useful scope explains what is being supervised, which decisions the role can make and how findings are reported. The role should match the competence required for the task.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
A project appoints specialist oversight for an agreed phase of explosive risk work.
A useful distinction
Supervision should not be assumed to transfer all contractual or site management responsibilities.
