One of my friends worked in a factory and he was both a smart guy and capable guy. He was telling me about an incident where a belt came off and he wasn't allowed to just put it back on. They had to have a mechanic come and replace the belt. Not a new belt, just put the same belt back on.
That type of thing was common, everybody has a job designation and only the person with that designation can do that job.
It's a combination of labor unions, OSHA and company policy. There's no cure in our ever tightening and structured society.
