A signed contract is treated as a transfer of responsibility

A manufacturing unit hires an external contractor to modify a line while production continues nearby. The manager says the contractor signed an indemnity clause, so the unit no longer needs to coordinate work or check qualifications. A safety officer has recorded a shared access hazard but lacks the resources to implement the proposed change. Several workers received only a copied attendance sheet instead of training on the modified process. The exercise concerns Chinese responsibility principles and actual evidence, not a supplied conclusion about every legal liability or numerical staffing requirement. The team must identify which responsibilities remain relevant, which facts need verification and why a consultant or signature does not make the work safe by itself.
