Decision question
Should Engineer B treat all findings from the peer review as confidential to the client who commissioned the review, or disclose safety-relevant errors beyond the client when those errors pose a risk to public safety?
Focus
Engineer B, serving as peer reviewer, discovered errors in Engineer A's design work and faced questions about the proper scope of confidentiality obligations during the review. The question is whether Engineer B's duty to maintain confidentiality about the review's existence and findings was bounded by safety disclosure obligations when significant design errors were identified.
Option1
Report safety-relevant design errors to the appropriate parties beyond the commissioning client, treating the duty to protect public safety as a limit on the scope of peer review confidentiality obligations.
Option2
Deliver all findings, including safety-relevant errors, solely to the client who commissioned the review, on the grounds that the client is the appropriate party to decide on remediation and further disclosure.
Option3
Present safety findings to the client and formally request authorization to disclose to additional parties, treating client consent as a prerequisite to broader disclosure except in cases of imminent danger.
