Which statement is true about the REC Supervisor responsibilities?

• A. Sign RECs during opening and closing reviews.
• B. Directly manages procurement.
• C. Lead external safety audits.
• D. Maintains the production schedule.

Answer: (A)

Signing RECs during opening and closing reviews anchors accountability in the verification process. The REC Supervisor is responsible for the formal sign-off that these records are accurate and complete: at the opening review, they confirm the plan, scope, and requirements are set, and at the closing review, they attest that all actions have been completed and properly documented before the work can proceed or be closed. This sign-off ensures traceability and responsibility for the integrity of the review.

Other activities described—directly managing procurement, leading external safety audits, or maintaining the production schedule—belong to different roles: procurement handles purchases, safety audits are typically led by a safety or quality assurance lead, and the production schedule is an operations/production function.
