Plan activities to traditional and heritage buildings and structures
Overview
This standard is about planning activities to traditional and heritage buildings and structures by prioritising and programming work activities for the repair, maintenance, conservation, alteration, adaptation, energy efficiency retrofit, installation or replacement of building services for traditional (pre 1919) and heritage buildings and structures and adopting safe, healthy and environmentally responsible work practices 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
