http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Scope-of-WorkNon-ShieldforStructuralSafetyDisclosureObligation
Case context
The public agency and VWX invoked Engineer A's scope limitation (pavement damage only) as justification for omitting the wall defect from the final report; Engineer A accepted this justification without further escalation.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to recognize that his contracted scope — limited to pavement damage inspection — did not shield him from the obligation to disclose the observed wall structural defect, particularly given its potential causal connection to a confirmed fatality.
Temporal scope
Upon receiving the scope-based suppression instruction from VWX
Relationships

Scope-Bounded Public Safety Obligation Principle Invoked By Engineer A
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A's scope of work is solely to identify any pavement damage on the bridge and report the damage to VWX for further review and repair.
Text references
Engineer A's scope of work is solely to identify any pavement damage on the bridge and report the damage to VWX for further review and repair.
The public agency contacts VWX Architects and Engineers which then contacts Engineer A and asks Engineer A not to include this additional information in his final report since it was not part of his scope of work.
