http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#EmployerCost-RejectionNon-AcquiescenceSafetyEscalationObligation
Case context
The manager's failure to act for a month — despite the safety concern involving infant respirators — did not extinguish Engineer A's safety obligation; Engineer A correctly assessed that escalation to a federal regulatory agency was warranted if prompt action was not taken.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated not to treat the manager's month-long inaction and 'still being looked into' response as a discharge of the safety concern, and to assess whether the nature, probability, and severity of the identified risk required escalation beyond the employer relationship to a federal regulatory agency.
Temporal scope
Upon learning of the month-long inaction and the manager's 'still being looked into' response
Source Evidence
Source text
