The project management department may purchase small construction equipment on its own discretion, based on the needs of construction and production. 4. All equipment that is manufactured or modified by the project management department itself must be evaluated and inspected by the technical supervisor for construction equipment in the Production Department; it can only be put into use after passing the evaluation. The technical supervisor for construction equipment in the Production Department shall then fill out the \"Technical Evaluation Form for Self-Manufactured Simple Equipment\". V. Leasing of Machinery and Equipment
1. When the Project Management Department leases large- or medium-sized equipment, it must sign a “Lease Contract” ； And make a copy of the Lease Contract to file with the Production Department. 2. Before the rented equipment is brought in for use, the construction equipment supervisor from the Production Department shall organize an assessment and inspection of its performance. Only after passing the inspection can it be used for installation, and the results of the inspection shall be recorded in the \"Construction Equipment Inspection Form\". 3. The management of leased equipment should be incorporated into the unified equipment management of the project management department. VI. Management of the Use of Mechanical Equipment 1. The daily management of the use of mechanical equipment is the responsibility of the project management team, in accordance with the principle that \"those who use the equipment are responsible for its management.\" The Production Department is responsible for providing technical guidance and overseeing inspection work. 2. Each project management department shall appoint an equipment officer, who should possess basic knowledge of mechanical equipment and certain experience in equipment management. 3. Mechanical equipment should be equipped with sufficient staff as required (operators, supervisors, and maintenance personnel). Operators must hold the required certificates to work, as stipulated. 4. Personnel operating mechanical equipment should be competent for their duties and familiar with the performance characteristics of the equipment they use, as well as its maintenance and upkeep requirements. 5. The use of all machinery and equipment shall comply with the requirements specified in the instruction manual; operation beyond the rated load is strictly prohibited. 6. All mechanical equipment must undergo regular maintenance, minor repairs, and medium-scale repairs in accordance with the provisions of the Equipment Maintenance Procedures during use; it is strictly prohibited to operate such equipment while it is faulty. 7. Operators and maintenance personnel of mechanical equipment should carefully keep the \"Equipment Operation Shift Log\" and the \"Equipment Maintenance Log\". The equipment officers in each project management department should regularly check the completion of the \"Equipment Operation Shift Records\" and ensure that they are collected and archived properly. VII. Maintenance and Repair of Construction Equipment 1. The maintenance of construction equipment is carried out by the equipment officer in the project management team, in coordination with operators and repair technicians, in accordance with various \"Mechanical Equipment Maintenance Procedures.\" The operators and the equipment officer are responsible for filling in the \"Equipment Operation Log\" and the \"Equipment Repair Log\" respectively. 2.
