Decision Question
Should Engineer A continue to seal plans he has not personally prepared or checked and reviewed in detail, relying on his confidence in subordinates' competence, or must he refuse to seal any document he has not personally verified through substantive review?
Focus
Engineer A's Sealing Practice: Whether to Continue Sealing Plans Without Detailed Personal Review
Option1
Decline to affix his seal to any plan he has not personally checked and reviewed in sufficient detail to form an independent professional judgment about its conformity to design intent, applicable standards, and public safety requirements — even if this slows firm output or requires reducing project volume.
Option2
Continue sealing plans based on his role-level contributions — setting design requirements, providing conceptual direction, and answering technical questions — treating these managerial inputs as constituting responsible charge sufficient for the chief engineer sealing function in a large organization.
Option3
Implement a mandatory checkpoint system requiring Engineer A to conduct a substantive review of each project at a defined completion milestone before sealing — accepting reduced firm throughput as the cost of genuine professional accountability while preserving the chief engineer sealing role.
