Section 304: Duty of persons in charge of dangerous things

It is the duty of every person who has in his charge or under his control anything,
whether living or inanimate, and whether moving or stationary, of such a nature that,
in the absence of care or precaution in its use or management, the life, safety, or
health of any person may be endangered, to use reasonable care and take reasonable
precautions to avoid such danger; and he is held to have caused any consequences
which result to the life or health of any person by reason of any omission to perform
that duty.
