What should we do if we encounter a leader giving illegal instructions during production and claiming that they will take responsibility?

In practice, due to various pressures to meet tasks and production targets, we are forced to restart the operation after stopping it several times. By that point, the storage tanks are already filled with defective material, and continuing to operate poses a risk of overflow. Yet the managers still insist that we keep running the equipment, claiming they will take responsibility if anything goes wrong. What should we do?
If he says he can take responsibility, then have him provide a written statement so that it will be beneficial for you if things need to be checked in the future. Are there no containers available? We can find a way to get some of the stuff out of the jar, right?
It takes a long time to transfer the material. At that time, all the bottles and containers were full; otherwise, the transfer would have been done already. What we produce is a chemical intermediate that is highly toxic, and it takes a long time to mix various substances in those tank trucks
Just do as the boss says; there’s no other choice. If you don’t follow the boss’s instructions, you’ll get fired, and everyone will be held accountable if something goes wrong. Think about it yourself
Please have him operate it himself and provide the reasons.
Take good meeting notes. If something goes wrong, turn to him. Learn to protect yourself
As long as you express your opinion, and if the supervisor still insists, then it’s better to cause an accident to make him learn his lesson – but only on the condition that no serious accident occurs that could endanger lives. There are always two solutions to anything: one is to do it the right way ； The second is to mess it up and start over. :lol
If you are in production, it is recommended that you keep records and make compromises! If you are involved in analysis and quality control, I hope you will stick to your principles. There are also many possible outcomes; if you meet someone who understands reason, they will value you afterward, as long as you are truly capable. If you encounter someone who holds grudges, remember: if you show weakness this time, you won’t be able to stand up to them next time either; sooner or later you’ll fall at their hands. It’s better to stick to your principles. Adhering to principles always brings more benefits than drawbacks.
Obey, but don’t follow blindly. If the leader insists on driving, he must be aware of the risk of overflow; why not discuss your views with him privately to find a solution that allows driving while avoiding overflow?
Bad luck for you – you won this time, but you lost your future. That’s more or less the situation in China.:lol
I think one should follow the established procedures; if a supervisor gives orders that violate safety protocols, it is acceptable to refuse to carry out those orders in emergency situations.
This is related to the company’s culture; in our company, safety is the top priority, and anyone who violates these safety principles can be refused permission to carry out such tasks
See what violations there are; some of them require a life as a price. Ask the leader whether he is willing to take on such responsibility. He should be told that following rules is a basic requirement for a leader. If it’s an emergency, then a careful consideration is needed
