"Amerita"
I believe this person tried to say "amerita", which means "calls for it, deserves it"
ex. Habrá un médico si la situación lo amerita.
There will be a physician if the situation calls for it.
I hope it helps.

Therefore, my option would be "calls for it, deserves it" depending on the context.

which deserves
I think the word is "amerita", and I would translate the paragraph as follows:"(...) they work without supervision on equipment which deserves the presence of a technician with them"
