The briefing on C01

The method statement went to C02. The copy on the cabin wall is still C01.

Week one

The method statement for digging the basement, C01 (the first version issued for use), is briefed to the gang and pinned to the cabin wall. Rex signs the briefing sheet.

C02 existed. The gang was briefed on C01.
