Decision question
Should Engineer L refuse to continue work when Client X declines to implement recommended protective measures and insists on proceeding without safeguards, or should Engineer L continue work while documenting the client's decision?
Focus
After Engineer L disclosed the stormwater risk and recommended protective measures, Client X declined to invest in those measures and insisted on proceeding with the project without safeguards. Engineer L faced the decision of whether to continue work under client instruction or to refuse continuation on the grounds that proceeding without protective measures would compromise public safety and would not constitute a successful project outcome.
Option1
Decline to proceed with project work until Client X agrees to implement the recommended protective measures, advising Client X that continuing without safeguards would not constitute a successful project and that Engineer L cannot ethically participate in work that poses an unmitigated risk to the community drinking water source.
Option2
Proceed with the project as directed by Client X, documenting in writing that the client was informed of the risk, that protective measures were recommended, and that the client made an informed decision to decline those measures, treating the documented disclosure as sufficient to discharge Engineer L's professional obligation.
Option3
Continue project work as directed by Client X while simultaneously reporting the identified risk and the client's refusal to implement protective measures to the relevant regulatory authority, allowing the regulatory process to determine whether the project may proceed.
