(a) Supervisors are to be appointed by management.

(b) No minimum or maximum number of technicians is required on a job site to necessitate the appointment.

(c) "Level II Technicians" are responsible for technical performance on a project. The responsibility to interpret film for other technicians on a site does not necessarily mean that a supervisor's rate applies.
