Clause 10

Where any building works are required by section 8(1) to be carried out under the full-time supervision of a site supervisor, the qualified person appointed under section 9 in respect of those building works shall, in respect of the structural elements of those building works, appoint not less than one site supervisor in respect of the building works.

No person shall be appointed as a site supervisor of building works for the purposes of this Act unless he possesses the prescribed practical experience and qualifications for the exercise of continuous supervision of the building works.

Every site supervisor of building works shall give full-time supervision to the carrying out of the building works to ensure that the building works are carried out in accordance with the plans approved in respect of the building works and with any terms and conditions imposed by the Building Authority.

If any qualified person contravenes or fails to comply with subsection (1), or any site supervisor contravenes or fails to comply with subsection (3), the qualified person or site supervisor, as the case may be, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $500 for every day during which the offence continues after conviction.
