Lawyer Li Yusheng from Fidelity Law Firm said that air-conditioning workers should be held criminally responsible for negligent death and should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years. Secondly, if the employer of the air-conditioning workers fails to provide the necessary safety equipment or measures to prevent objects from falling, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, he may be jailed for up to three years and be jointly and severally liable with the air-conditioning workers for damages. As for the landlord, since he has applied to the management committee to install air-conditioning and complies with the apartment building management regulations, he may not be held civilly or criminally liable in principle.
