Scope changes and variations on site
Recognize when a request or a discovery takes the job beyond its agreed scope, explain the options to the customer without awkwardness, get the change approved by the right person and recorded, and keep dispatch informed of the effect on the day. Discovered safety defects are made safe and reported, not ignored or quietly fixed. Jobs and people are fictional; your organization's change process governs.
