(2)  The number of full-time safety officers required to work on a construction site is proportional to the number of workers working on the site and is determined as follows:

   Number of workers          Number of safety
      on the site                 officers

(3)  Moreover, a safety officer shall stay on the site when more than 50 workers are working overtime.

(b)  50 workers or less are still working on a construction site where more than 500 workers had been employed;

(c)  10% of the workers are still working on a construction site where between 200 and 500 workers had been employed.
