Commas in case of introductory elements
Hi everyone,
Recently I had a discussion with my college about coma usage to set off introductory elements. Could you please help us resolve the dispute? The sentences are the following:
- The company’s division, responsible for safety,and the site monitor were notified about the serious adverse event, and the corresponding forms were filled in.
- Acceptable types of carriers of the Reporting Documents, utilized by the Contractor,are specified by the Parties in Appendix 3 hereto.
Should there be commas in highlighted parts? Could these parts be treated as introductory elements?
Thanks in advance.
