Case context
Engineer A, working on the same design/build industrial facility project, identified that Engineer B appeared to have only a chemical engineering background with no apparent structural engineering training, and investigated Engineer B's credentials before raising concerns.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.87
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to conduct an objective, evidence-based investigation of Engineer B's educational background, degree discipline, and relevant experience before concluding that a reasonable basis existed to challenge Engineer B's competence for structural footing design.
Temporal scope
Upon observing Engineer B's assignment to structural footing design and before initiating any competence challenge
Source Evidence
Source text
We believe that Engineer A has an objective basis to determine whether Engineer B has sufficient education, experience and training to perform the required structural design services.

Text references
We believe that Engineer A has an objective basis to determine whether Engineer B has sufficient education, experience and training to perform the required structural design services.
there is at least a reasonable basis for Engineer A to conclude that Engineer B does not possess the competence to perform the required task.
