Which statement about REC Supervisor qualifications is true?

• A. Must be qualified in writing to manage the routine operation and maintenance of assigned DLSS.
• B. Must be qualified to operate a forklift.
• C. Must have a degree in a non-related field.
• D. Must be able to sign off on all REC documents.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is that REC Supervisors must have formal written qualification to oversee the routine operation and maintenance of their assigned DLSS. This written qualification ensures they have demonstrated the necessary system-specific knowledge, procedures, and safety requirements to supervise tasks, interpret instructions, and authorize actions within the defined scope. It provides a verifiable, accountable standard so the supervisor can reliably manage day-to-day activities without guessing or overstepping boundaries.

Forklift qualification isn’t the core credential here; it’s a separate skill that may be needed for material handling but doesn’t establish competency to supervise DLSS operations. Having a degree in a non-related field doesn’t substitute for the system-specific, written qualification that certifies practical ability to oversee routine work. And signing off on all REC documents would imply authority beyond the supervisor’s defined scope; the qualification is about supervising the DLSS routine operations and maintenance, not blanket approval of every REC document.
