Hello,
Within my company we have had a lot of discussion about the presence/ absence of a legal liability of people removing the signing safety signatures on equipment.
Background.
We have procedures for a controller which state we have to re-test all safety's on the system and fill out the original check list( or update) and then 2 people have to sign off.
The issue.
We have some people who have regenerated the signature without the documentation. The push back is that we don't have any external documentation that the documentation needs to be followed.
Does anyone have any examples or regulations they have seen or cases which display the liabilities in not maintaining a chain of custody for safety signatures?
