bursting disc is fitted in cylinder head for safety purpose during starting of main engine..it will burst when excessive starting air pressure introduce.. in crankcase it is relief v/v located at starboard side of main engine..
Not fitted only at cylinder head, according to manufacturer’s purpose they can use it where it is required. And these are fitted at so many places with working pressure.
But I think bursting disc is fitted on air compressor (inter cooler and after cooler)
