Instance of
Non-EngineerFirmManagementProhibition
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Non-EngineerFirmManagementProhibition
Applied to
Hurricane damage assessment reports
XYZ Engineering firm operations
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Concrete expression
Supervisor B, a non-licensed non-engineer principal of XYZ Engineering, exercised operational control over sealed engineering reports by taking them after Engineer A's refusal and sending altered versions to the client — substituting non-engineer commercial judgment for licensed engineering judgment in a manner that circumvents the public protection rationale of engineering licensure
Confidence
0.92
Importance
high
Interpretation
Supervisor B's action of taking sealed reports and transmitting altered versions to the client constitutes non-engineer management control that enables circumvention of licensed engineering oversight, violating the principle that non-engineers cannot substitute their judgment for that of the licensed engineer of record
Invoked by
Supervisor B Report-Altering Non-Engineer Supervisor
Tension resolution
The prohibition on non-engineer management control of sealed engineering documents is absolute and cannot be overridden by client or business interests
Source Evidence
Source text

Text references
