Does anyone have any input to the following question- If an employer requires you to work on a piece of equipment that you don't have technical information on & you give it your best shot & the unit seems fixed. You then put the unit back into service but your repair fails & the someone gets hurt, who's at fault? Could the tech be held responsible for a faulty repair when he had no technical support? Anyone have any first hand knowledge of such an event? Any input would be great
