Document title
Client Confidentiality vs. Public Safety Balancing Framework
Importance
high
Used by
NSPE Board of Ethical Review in structuring the ethical analysis of Engineer A's reporting obligations
Used in context
Professional ethics framework applied to determine when Engineer A's environmental disclosure obligations override client confidentiality interests, including graduated analysis of client awareness, engineer competence, evidentiary certainty, and client action
Version
As applied across BER Cases 89-7, 97-13, 04-8, and present case
Source Evidence
Source text
engineers are placed in situations where they must balance the extent of their obligations to their employer or client with their obligations to protect the public health and safety
Text references
Engineer A acted reasonably under the circumstances by properly balancing the obligation of the engineer to be faithful to the client and not to disclose what might be considered by the client to be confidential information concerning the business affairs of a client without that client's consent and the obligation of the engineer to hold paramount the public health and safety
There does not appear to be any affirmative action on the part of the client to treat the information as confidential
