Earthing is essential and may come into use once or never in a life time,one cannot say definitely..But when needed if it is not able to do or not there for what it should do results can be disastrous.Whether temporary or permanent, earthing considering the importance for any equipment minimum is at 2points.Earthing can be faulty due to loose contact, breakage, aging,etc. and with2 chances of failure or less or improved reliability.It is also a very detailed subject by itself.

Yes. Wether temporary or permanent and must have a resistance of 0.5 ohms.

Because the effect is not always tangible, the importance of good earthing is oftentime neglected. Always to the culprit's detriment.

The very purpose of providing earthing to electrically operated equipment is for protection to life. Weather permanent or temporary installation the person operating it has only one life and you cannot take any Chance. To provide the required mandatory safety by providing double earthing is compulsory .The double eating is recommended as mandatory requirement considering the single earth point Can always get disconnected during operations and may not get noticed till accident happens. Due to this reason and violation is not permitted.
