Decision question
When Supervisor B — a non-licensed, non-engineer principal — directs Engineer A to change sealed forensic report conclusions from hurricane-related damage to pre-existing structural conditions without providing any factual or technical basis, what is Engineer A's immediate professional obligation?
Focus
Engineer A's immediate obligation upon Supervisor B's request to alter sealed hurricane damage assessment reports without factual or technical basis
Option1
Refuse the alteration request, document the refusal in writing to XYZ Engineering leadership, and formally notify the firm that the sealed reports cannot be modified without a factual and technical basis
Option2
Refuse the alteration request verbally and await further direction from Supervisor B or firm leadership before taking any additional formal action, treating the request as a supervisory disagreement to be resolved internally
Option3
Engage Supervisor B in a technical dialogue to determine whether any legitimate factual basis exists for the requested change, and offer to revise the report only if Supervisor B can provide documented site evidence or engineering data that Engineer A did not have access to during the original inspection
Role
Engineer A
