Properties
Instance of
SafetyCodeIntegrityNon-NegotiabilityPrinciple
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SafetyCodeIntegrityNon-NegotiabilityPrinciple
Applied to
City council chairman's proposal to allow developers to avoid compliance with updated building code requirements
Balancing with
Political accommodation
Short-term resource optimization
Concrete expression
The building code enforcement requirements for new facilities cannot be selectively suspended as consideration for the city council chairman's hiring authorization, because the integrity of the code as a system of public protection is not subject to case-by-case political bargaining
Confidence
0.97
Importance
high
Interpretation
Updated building code requirements represent the current state of public safety knowledge; allowing selective non-compliance creates unpredictable safety risks that cannot be offset by the compensating benefit of more inspectors
Invoked by
Engineer A Building Inspection Program PE Under Political Pressure
Tension resolution
Code integrity is non-negotiable; the arrangement must be rejected
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A's decision to permit developers to avoid compliance with the newer, updated building code enforcement requirements might potentially cause a real danger to the public health and safety if the a new facility causes harm to the public because of its failure to comply with the more updated code requirements.
Text references
Engineer A should make it plain and clear to the chairman that 'righting a wrong with another wrong,' does grave damage to the public health and safety
