I have a silly question
Thread Content
Do you know of anyone around you, or among your acquaintances, who worked in chemical engineering design and ended up in prison?
Haha, planning ahead prevents future troubles
The poster seems to be a beginner; there are problems with the design. What was addressed first wasn’t the design itself, but rather approval, review, and verification: lol
I really don’t have it, but after hearing what you said, I need to be careful! Look at that international student who went to the United States recently; he’s very scared!
I heard that it’s happened in our company too – people who work in design took the materials with them and sold them to others, and it ended up being a disaster! It seems to be a crime of disclosing trade secrets!
Don’t scare me. I work at an architectural firm; I’ve heard of people who work in architectural design getting arrested
Let me give an example: it was many years ago. Previously, someone from our company did get in. It seems that something happened to someone from the pipeline management department in the factory; the designer said that the accident was caused by insufficient spacing between the pipes and cables. It is said that during the design process, the designer raised this issue explicitly in a team meeting; everyone discussed it, and the management promised firmly and insisted that it had to be done this way. No minutes were taken nor any signatures obtained at that time, and when problems arose, those who were present refused to admit responsibility! As a result, the designer went in!
No way, in such a case, meeting minutes are absolutely necessary
I really haven’t heard of this before; I’ve always thought that design is a great career
There definitely are some, but no one knows about them
This definitely exists. As far as I know, when a problem arises in a project and a proper investigation is conducted, if it is due to a design flaw, the primary responsible person is the person in charge of the project, while the second responsible party is the designer. Of course, no one can escape responsibility; those involved in verification, review, and project management also bear some degree of responsibility.
