peer agreement (net): +1in-house principle / on the company terrain Explanation: Werkzaun = company fence, company enclosure. What they mean, is that all work should be carried out ion the premises of the company. The best way to express that is with "in-house" in English, IMO. See the Google URL for some examples.

1 hr confidence:
on-site principle Explanation: as an option, perhaps, since ein "Werk" can stretch over many acres. Supervision of welding operations is done on-site [right on the spot] rather than from a distance. Not to take away from Alexander's perfectly sensible answer |

2 hrs confidence:
on site approach or on site principle Explanation: It seems to me that Werkzaun here means the site where the work is being done. When I think of in-house, I think of a manufacturer doing thins on his own premises, not those of another. |
