http://proethica.org/ontology/case/76#Engineers_A_B_Proactive_Risk_Disclosure
Definition
Engineers A and B disclosed the lead leaching risk and the need for a three-year improvement timeline to the MWC before the vote. Following the override, the proactive risk disclosure principle requires them to disclose the ongoing risk to the state regulatory agency and potentially to the public.
Properties
Instance of
ProactiveRiskDisclosurePrinciple
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ProactiveRiskDisclosurePrinciple
Applied to
Lead leaching risk from old service pipes
MWC decision to proceed without completing improvements first
Balancing with
Client confidentiality
Faithful Agent Duty Principle
Concrete expression
Engineers A and B disclosed the lead leaching risk and the need for a three-year improvement timeline to the MWC before the vote. Following the override, the proactive risk disclosure principle requires them to disclose the ongoing risk to the state regulatory agency and potentially to the public.
Confidence
0.93
Interpretation
Disclosure to the MWC was a necessary first step, but the override does not extinguish the disclosure obligation. The principle requires escalation to the state regulatory agency as the next appropriate audience for the risk disclosure.
Tension resolution
The proactive risk disclosure principle requires escalation beyond the client when the client has overridden safety recommendations and the risk to the public remains unmitigated.
Match Confidence
0.93
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Proactive Risk Disclosure Principle': The existing ontology contains 'Proactive Risk Disclosure Principle' defined as requiring engineers to disclose known or reasonably anticipated risks to affected parties as soon as those risks are identified, without waiting for risks to materialize or for a convenient moment. This is a direct match to the disclosure obligations of Engineers A and B following the MWC override.

Source Evidence
Text references
Both Engineer A and Engineer B met with the MWC at a meeting sparsely attended by the public and recommended that the change in water source be substantially delayed until improvements could be completed.
The improvements are needed prior to the change in water source to ensure that sufficient corrosion control is provided so that old service pipes in the MWC service area don't leach lead at levels in excess of drinking water standards.
