Applied to
Construction Workers Public Safety Stakeholder
OPQ Construction Supervisor Present Case
State DOT Infrastructure Repair Client
Balancing with
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A should identify and present to his supervisor alternative scaffolding configurations — such as designs with greater setback from the travel lane, impact barriers, or reduced footprint — that mitigate the commercial vehicle strike risk, so that the supervisor and DOT client can make an informed decision about the appropriate design approach
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, proactive design alternatives presentation requires Engineer A to expand the design conversation beyond the assigned approach to include alternatives that better protect workers and the public from the commercial vehicle hazard
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case OPQ Construction Scaffolding Designer
Tension resolution
Proactive design alternatives presentation obligation requires Engineer A to go beyond the assigned design parameters to present safety-enhancing alternatives, consistent with his public welfare obligation
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A is directed by his supervisor to design inspection and construction scaffolding for a noncommercial parkway cloverleaf ramp with limited height and width clearance.
Text references
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.
Engineer A is directed by his supervisor to design inspection and construction scaffolding for a noncommercial parkway cloverleaf ramp with limited height and width clearance.
