Due to a shortage of human resources, the maintenance company has assigned one person to act as a supervisor, and the workshop has also assigned a supervisor. Is this acceptable? Are there any violations?
Can the maintenance party trust the owner’s party to provide supervision? Can you accept that the owner bears additional responsibility for providing safety supervision to the maintenance party? Regardless of whether it’s illegal or not, it doesn’t seem feasible. Strictly speaking, supervision is necessary, but rescue measures are also required. Emergency responders aren’t just a matter of a few people; necessary equipment is also required. The regulations must be followed, but in practice, the equipment needed should be determined based on actual requirements, for reference only.
No, the person in charge of supervision cannot be replaced by someone from another unit. When signing the work order, the maintenance unit and the working unit each have their own responsibilities; it is not allowed to assign someone from elsewhere to carry out the tasks on site
