Decision Question
Should Engineer A first discuss the discovered safety code violations directly with Engineer B before reporting to authorities, report immediately to the proper authorities without collegial notification, or pursue both simultaneously?
Focus
Engineer A discovers potential safety code violations during a peer review and must decide how to initiate the escalation process — whether to first engage Engineer B collegially, report immediately to authorities, or pursue a concurrent dual-track approach.
Option1
Immediately discuss the discovered violations with Engineer B in a documented collegial meeting, establish a clear corrective action timeline, and commit to reporting to the proper authorities if Engineer B does not take prompt and verifiable corrective action within that timeframe.
Option2
Bypass the collegial notification step and report the discovered safety code violations immediately to the proper regulatory authorities, treating the 'may be in violation' finding as sufficient to trigger the public safety reporting duty regardless of whether Engineer B has been consulted.
Option3
Simultaneously notify Engineer B of the discovered violations and report to the proper authorities, reasoning that the public safety duty and the collegial improvement purpose are not mutually exclusive and that concurrent notification eliminates the risk of harmful delay while still giving Engineer B the opportunity to respond.
