http://proethica.org/ontology/case/57#Responsible_Charge_Engagement_Invoked_For_Engineer_B_Supervisory_Role
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Bridge inspection program oversight
Field inspector performance review
Supervision of Engineer Intern A
Balancing with
Reliance on subordinate reporting in large programs
Concrete expression
Engineer B, as a licensed PE and DOT director supervising the bridge inspection program, bears responsible charge obligations that require active engagement with the full scope of inspection program quality — including the historical performance of field inspectors — not merely receipt of current defect reports; Engineer B's supervisory role creates an obligation to probe the completeness of reports received from Engineer Intern A
Confidence
0.82
Importance
medium
Interpretation
Responsible charge in a bridge inspection program context requires the supervising PE to ensure that the program's historical inspection records are reviewed when significant defects are discovered, not merely to accept the intern's partial report at face value
Invoked by
Engineer B DOT Bridge Inspection Program Director PE
Tension resolution
The responsible charge obligation requires active engagement sufficient to ensure program integrity; Engineer B should have inquired about the defect's history upon receiving the report
