Decision Question
Does Engineer A's professional duty require him to arrive at the supervisor notification with preliminary design alternatives already developed, and must written documentation of the hazard notification be issued contemporaneously with the verbal notification rather than only 'if necessary'?
Focus
Whether Engineer A's ethical obligations are fully discharged by notifying the supervisor of the hazard, or whether they independently require presenting affirmative design alternatives and providing written documentation contemporaneously — rather than treating written notice as a contingency and alternative design presentation as optional
Option1
Notify the supervisor verbally and simultaneously provide written documentation of the hazard, and arrive at the notification conversation with at least a preliminary set of design alternatives (clearance buffers, physical barriers, traffic control options) already developed — treating both written notice and alternative presentation as co-equal components of the professional duty
Option2
Notify the supervisor verbally of the hazard immediately, without waiting to develop design alternatives, and provide written documentation only if the supervisor's verbal response is inadequate or dismissive — treating the written notice as a contingency triggered by supervisor non-responsiveness rather than as an independent co-equal obligation
Option3
Notify the supervisor verbally of the hazard immediately and provide written documentation contemporaneously, but defer development and presentation of design alternatives until after the supervisor has had an opportunity to respond — treating hazard identification and solution-generation as sequential professional tasks rather than simultaneous obligations, to avoid delaying the notification while alternatives are being developed
