The importance of survey and design may represent a turning point

It turns out that it was “logged in” during that period, and a lot of illegal content was posted; I’m very sorry. I didn’t log in during my time back in my hometown; the original password was very simple, and it has been changed. 8.13 Early in the morning, I was shocked by the news coming from Tianjin. How could such a horrible thing happen in this peaceful modern metropolis? It’s hard to believe. So many people have been harmed; it’s heartbreaking. Chemical safety, the safety of large heavy chemical industries, environmental protection, and other such issues have once again become clear. Many residents in various cities have become accustomed to the chemical plants or hazardous material storage facilities, whether located nearby or further away. At this point, whether the investigation, design, and planning are reasonable can be the boundary between health and danger, between life and death. I saw on WeChat that there are suspicions that the safety distances specified in the planning for this facility do not meet **the relevant standards. This is just an individual opinion; the exact situation is not clear, so it’s impossible to draw any conclusions rashly. However, at any time, in the construction of the petrochemical industry and other heavy industrial enterprises related to critical national security, the rationality of survey and design is undoubtedly of primary importance in ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property. It is believed that after this, actions will be taken at the **level, and this could mark a turning point for the standards in the survey and design industry, as well as for those working in related fields related to safety. I haven’t been here for a long time; let’s talk about something that has nothing to do with exams. Praying for the victim once again!

The survey and design work carried out by such companies is generally in compliance with standards; this accident was likely due to management issues. In fact, almost all major accidents in China over the past few years have been caused by management problems – there are rules and safety protocols that are not followed, or not enforced properly, or only selectively applied. That’s the real issue.
From a purely design perspective, there should be no major issues; otherwise, the construction drawings wouldn’t pass the review. However, it’s possible that the company didn’t construct according to the drawings, and problems may arise in management and operation as well. But for our survey and design industry, reasonable and standardized design is a bottom line that must be adhered to. Prayers for the victim!
Those who come after will mourn over this, yet fail to take lessons from it, which will in turn cause them to mourn over those who follow.
This is no longer an accident; it’s a complete disaster! ! ! !
In fact, things are quite frustrating at the moment; regarding the transformation of old enterprises, the regulations state that reference should be made to them in practice, but once reference is taken, those regulations aren’t actually followed! ! For survey and design work, it’s not enough to just obtain a certificate; that merely reflects an understanding of theoretical knowledge. Surveying + design: A professional certificate only provides some basic theoretical knowledge of design; it’s far from enough! Sigh~~~ It’s getting increasingly difficult to make a living in this industry; everything is already at full capacity and there are many people working in it. Lower salaries, layoffs, and career changes might become the norm in the coming years! Of course, big companies are an exception; after all, it is they who hold the major technological innovations.
In China, people focus on power and personal relationships, rather than the rule of law； How many jurisdictions have implemented a signature system for survey and design certificates?
It’s really the case sometimes that those who do the work fail the exam, while those who don’t do any work pass it. It’s all theoretical stuff, with no practical experience.
Looking at the exam questions from 2014, it can be seen that they are gradually becoming more aligned with real-life situations
In some industries, there must be certain thresholds; it’s not possible to work there without having a basic understanding of the relevant knowledge.
Indeed, the disconnect between exam questions and real work is a problem. Moreover, the exams are not tailored to different specialties. For example, in both piping and process engineering, the Certified Chemical Engineer exam is taken; it’s clear that the current exam questions are more related to process aspects, as these are encountered more often in work. Piping work, on the other hand, involves less emphasis on process calculations. Using the same exam questions for different specialties is somewhat one-size-fits-all and simplifies the issues too much.
