As the incoming shift supervisor, which two actions are required under Section 31 Regs 22?

• A. Sign report
• B. Communicates the content of the report to the workers on the incoming shift; Written acknowledgement to outgoing shift that the report has been communicated
• C. Update PPE stock
• D. Check ventilation

Answer: (B)

The situation tests how shift handover is supposed to work so that critical information isn’t missed between crews. Under Section 31 Reg 22, the incoming shift supervisor must ensure the contents of the report are communicated to the workers on the incoming shift, and there is written acknowledgement to the outgoing shift that this communication has occurred. This combination creates a clear transfer of safety and operational information and provides a traceable record that the handover was completed. The other actions—signing the report, updating PPE stock, or checking ventilation—are important tasks, but they do not fulfill the specific requirement of communicating the report to the incoming workers and obtaining written acknowledgement from the outgoing shift.
