Case context
Engineer A has identified a foreseeable safety risk from illegally operating commercial vehicles on the parkway adjacent to the proposed scaffolding site; if his supervisor fails to act on this notification, Engineer A must escalate rather than acquiesce in an unsafe design.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.84
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
If Engineer A's supervisor declines to address the commercial vehicle hazard after notification, Engineer A is obligated to refuse to finalize the scaffolding design without adequate safety measures and, if necessary, to escalate the safety concern to the state DOT client and appropriate regulatory authorities, recognizing that the supervisor's inaction does not extinguish Engineer A's paramount duty to protect construction workers and the public.
Temporal scope
Conditionally triggered if and when the supervisor declines to address the identified hazard after receiving Engineer A's notification
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A is concerned that the safety of inspection and construction employees (as well as others) could be endangered if one of these commercial vehicles passes by the proposed inspection and construction scaffolding.
