I need to tell another trade to hold before they cover our access

Use calm hold language, not a fight. Ask for a short pause while you call your foreman because access/inspection/TAB may be affected.

Stop if

• Can you hold this section for a few minutes? I need to verify access/inspection/TAB with my foreman before it gets covered.

Watch out

• Do not physically block, argue, or give final direction outside your authority.

Check

• Identify exactly what will be covered.
• Tell the other trade you need a short hold while you verify.
• Call your foreman with room/grid/system.
• Photo the condition before it disappears.
• Do not argue - document and escalate.
