Understand the temporary condition
Establish permitted use, isolation, restricted areas and required notifications. Interim materials or controls need an explicit purpose and follow-up. Attendance completion must not be mistaken for restoration of normal service.
Arrange the permanent work
Use findings to define investigation, repair or renewal as appropriate. Keep permanent works distinct from immediate control so authorisation, pricing and acceptance remain traceable.
Questions to resolve
Does make-safe mean fixed?
No. The immediate condition has been addressed within the instruction. Record explicitly whether further permanent work is required.
What should I ask before the contractor leaves?
Confirm the state left, restrictions, warning signs, next task and reporting route if conditions change after handover.
