Properties
Instance of
Non-EngineerSupervisorReportAlterationProhibition
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Non-EngineerSupervisorReportAlterationProhibition
Applied to
Engineer A's signed and sealed hurricane damage assessment reports
Balancing with
Client service obligations
Employer authority
Concrete expression
Supervisor B, a non-engineer principal of XYZ Engineering, directed Engineer A to alter the conclusions of his signed and sealed hurricane damage assessment reports without factual or technical basis, reversing findings of major structural damage to deny insurance claims
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
A non-engineer supervisor lacks the professional qualifications and legal accountability that the engineer's seal represents; directing alteration of sealed findings without factual basis constitutes a fundamental violation of the professional certification process
Invoked by
Supervisor B Report-Altering Non-Engineer Supervisor
Tension resolution
Employer authority and client service obligations do not extend to directing the alteration of sealed professional findings without factual or technical basis; the seal's integrity is not subject to managerial override
Source Evidence

Any action to subsequently modify any aspect of the engineering documents by any party who did not actually draft the engineering documents or exercise 'responsible charge' over the preparation of the engineering documents thoroughly compromises and undermines the integrity and the veracity that this preparation and approval process is intended to embody.
