Field checklist

Ask Foreman

Hey boss, I’m on site awareness and need verification before I touch this: What should I be staging for the journeyman while they are measuring the next piece? Do you want me to stop here and check the approved detail, submittal, or inspector/manufacturer requirement first?

Verify before acting

Use this as training guidance. The foreman, approved drawings, project specs, manufacturer installation instructions, employer safety policy, and AHJ/code requirements always control the final answer.
