Responsible Charge Engagement Standard Applied to Engineer A General Supervision

http://proethica.org/ontology/case/163#Responsible_Charge_Engagement_Standard_Applied_to_Engineer_A_General_Supervision
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
All plans sealed by Engineer A across the large firm's concurrent projects
Balancing with
Dual-Mode Seal Authorization Principle
Concrete expression
Engineer A's self-described 'general direction and supervision' — limited to establishing concepts, setting design requirements, reviewing elements of design or project status, and answering technical questions — does not constitute the active, substantive engagement required for genuine responsible charge over the sealed documents.
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
Responsible charge requires that the engineer can genuinely vouch for the technical adequacy of the work. Engineer A's involvement, while meaningful at the conceptual and directional level, does not extend to verification of the final technical product — meaning he cannot genuinely vouch for the documents he seals.
Invoked by
Engineer A Chief Engineer Sealing Supervisor
Tension resolution
Even under the supervisory mode of sealing, responsible charge requires substantive engagement extending to the final documents, not merely upstream conceptual direction; Engineer A's practice satisfies neither the self-authorship nor the supervisory direction-and-control mode.
Source Evidence
Source text
By general direction and supervision, Engineer A means that he is involved in helping to establish the concept, the design requirements, and review elements of the design or project status as the design progresses. Engineer A is consulted about technical questions and he provides answers and direction in these matters.
