The Officer in charge of an engineering watch shall keep the main propulsion plant and auxiliary systems under constant supervision until properly relieved, and shall periodically inspect the machinery in their charge. They shall also ensure that adequate rounds of the machinery and steering gear spaces are made for the purpose of observing and reporting equipment malfunctions or breakdowns, performing or directing routine adjustments, required upkeep and other necessary tasks.
The Officer in charge of an engineering watch requires that any other member of the engineering watch informs him of potentially hazardous conditions which may adversely affect the machinery or jeopardise the safety of life or the ship.
26
The Officer in charge of an engineering watch shall ensure that the watch is supervised in machinery spaces, and shall arrange for substitute personnel in the event of the incapacity of any engineering watch personnel. The engineering watch shall not leave the machinery spaces unsupervised.
