Who normally oversees three or four journeymen?

• A. Supervisor
• B. Lead Hand
• C. Foreman
• D. General Contractor

Answer: (C)

On-site supervision of a small crew is the foreman’s job. In sheet metal trades, the foreman directly leads a crew of three or four journeymen, organizing tasks, assigning work, and ensuring safety, quality, and schedule adherence. This makes the foreman the natural point of contact for day-to-day operations and coordination on the jobsite. A supervisor typically oversees multiple crews or higher-level activities, a lead hand is a senior worker within the crew rather than the full crew manager, and a general contractor runs the overall project rather than supervising a single crew daily.
