What responsibilities do container designers have towards the product? Under what circumstances is one held legally responsible? If the product’s structural design is unreasonable and an accident occurs, is the designer held criminally responsible? Where is the regulation?
If the product’s structural design is unreasonable and an accident occurs, is the designer held criminally responsible? In the event of a minor accident, partial financial liability may arise. Unless it is a major accident involving personnel or equipment, criminal liability will be imposed on the designer.
Are there clear regulations? Sometimes, it’s also difficult to determine the rationality of a design.
It’s very dangerous in our line of work. One shouldn’t be thrown into JY just for a few thousand dollars. It’s better to change careers sooner.
Working on pressure vessel design is indeed a task that entails great responsibility. In our design work, we must strictly comply with the provisions of the \"Regulations on the Safety Supervision of Special Equipment\", TSG R0004-2009 \"Rules for the Safety Supervision of Fixed Pressure Vessels\", GB150-2011 \"Pressure Vessels\" and other relevant standards. We shall use design and calculation software recognized in the industry to carry out strength calculations and stress analyses. Even in the event of a serious accident, there are procedures for holding people accountable; however, as long as the standards are strictly followed, such liability can be avoided. Generally, major accidents occur due to the failure of equipment operators to carry out regular inspections and maintenance on site.
