• Suspend the execution of the work immediately if the safety of persons or the environment is endangered, or if a critical factor is identified that could affect the final quality of the work;
• Support as-built documentation and final evaluation reports according to project progress;

• Plan and conduct project-wide trainings and awareness workshops relating to ISO 9001, the Project QMS and other specialized subjects.
