Properties
Instance of
GoodFaithSafetyConcernThresholdforExternalReporting
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#GoodFaithSafetyConcernThresholdforExternalReporting
Applied to
Barn structural modification by Jones
Town Supervisor Municipal Safety Inaction Authority
Balancing with
Epistemic Humility Constraint on Escalation Urgency
Concrete expression
Engineer A's concern that removing load-bearing columns and footings from a barn Engineer A originally designed creates a collapse risk under severe snow loads constitutes a good faith professional judgment sufficient to trigger the obligation to bring the concern to appropriate governmental authorities, even without a confirmed incident or formal structural inspection of the modified structure.
Confidence
0.86
Importance
medium
Interpretation
Engineer A's professional judgment as the original designer — that removing structural load-bearing elements creates a snow-load collapse risk — satisfies the good faith threshold for external reporting without requiring Engineer A to have personally inspected the modified structure or to have confirmed an actual failure.
Invoked by
Engineer A Post-Sale Safety Notifying Engineer
Tension resolution
The good faith threshold is met by Engineer A's original design knowledge; epistemic humility counsels care in characterizing certainty but does not negate the obligation to report a genuine professional concern.
Source Evidence
