Instance of
Non-ExpertSafetyConcernIdentificationandInternalEscalationObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Non-ExpertSafetyConcernIdentificationandInternalEscalationObligation
Case context
Engineer A, not a respirator expert, reviewed an infant respirator at Engineer B's request and identified a potentially dangerous relief valve placement that could expose infants to dangerously high pressure levels.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to identify and internally escalate the potential relief valve misplacement in the infant respirator, notwithstanding his non-expert status in respirator design, because his general engineering competence was sufficient to recognize a credible safety risk to a vulnerable population.
Temporal scope
Upon completion of the respirator review and identification of the potential defect
Relationships
defeasibleUnder
Engineer A Non-Expert Respirat or Safety Evaluation
Source Evidence
Source text
although not an expert on respirators, Engineer A determines that a relief valve intended to protect against overpressure being applied to the infant's lungs may have been incorrectly placed
Text references
Engineer A brings the issue and his proposed solution to the attention of the appropriate manager
