English term or phrase: guide the other's operation of this tour
Hi, can someone help me to understand this expression. the document is about "preventative maintenance system" for drilling equipments.

oversee equipment operations . . .
Explanation:
In that the definition of 'tour' is, "A working shift for drilling crew or other oilfield workers", the sentence needs some revision.

An example close to the translation example given: ". . . 'be responsible for the health, safety and working environment during the tour, oversee equipment operations during the tour, and be responsible for the safety of the personnel . . .'

Edited more clearly in English it could read: 'Take responsibility for the health, safety and work environment during each tour, oversee all equipment operations during the tour and be responsible for the safety of tour personnel.' HTH
