¬ The limitations of direction and guidance that an Owner should provide to a contractor.
¬ The legal requirements of “ensuring compliance with the Regulation”.
¬ The ramifications of going beyond the basic requirements and scope of “ensuring compliance”.
At the end of the program, the participant will have the information, direction and documentation that will help assist in:
