PotentialSafetyRiskWithoutConfirmedImminentHarmState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#PotentialSafetyRiskWithoutConfirmedImminentHarmState
Active period
From Engineer A's observation of the retrofitted sprinkler installation through written notification to Owner/Client
Affected parties
Building occupants potentially affected by sprinkler inoperability
Engineer A
Owner/Client
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Subject
Engineer A's identification of frozen pipe risk creating potential sprinkler system inoperability and property damage
Terminated by
Engineer A provides written notification to Owner/Client of risks associated with frozen pipes
Triggering event
Engineer A observes that sprinkler piping routed through unheated space creates risk of frozen pipes, potential system inoperability, and property damage from flooding
Urgency level
medium
Source Evidence
Source text
The direct risks are the inoperability of the sprinkler system and property damage from flooding resulting from frozen pipes
Text references
Engineer A does not, however, have a duty to investigate or to recommend mitigation alternatives
Engineer A's duties under Sections 1.4 (faithful agent) and III.1.b (project won't be successful) require that Engineer A advise the Owner in writing of the risks associated with frozen pipes
Frozen pipes could cause the sprinkler system to become inoperable, posing a potential risk to the public's health, safety, and welfare, triggering a duty to report the issue to the Owner/Client in writing
The direct risks are the inoperability of the sprinkler system and property damage from flooding resulting from frozen pipes
