Client Confidentiality vs. Public Safety Balancing Framework
Usedby
Engineer A
Usedincontext
This decision framework directly applies to Engineer A's dilemma: the signed confidentiality agreement creates a duty of non-disclosure, but the discovery of potential safety code violations endangering public health, safety, and welfare triggers the paramount obligation to protect the public. The framework guides how Engineer A must weigh and resolve these competing obligations.
