on-site vs on-the-spot
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone could explain to me the difference between 'on-site' and 'on-the-spot' (in sense of location). Do they both have the same meaning? If so, which do you prefer?
Thank you in advance!

'On the spot' refers to time, rather than location. If do a repair, for example, 'on the spot', it means immediately.
'On-site' is a term used work contexts to mean in that something happens, or is located, at the site in question rather than at another site. For example, a large production facility may have an 'on-site' maintenance team, whereas a smaller one may have to call in maintenance personnel from elsewhere if needed.
