Properties
Instance of
ClientNotificationObligationforDiscoveredSafetyHazard
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ClientNotificationObligationforDiscoveredSafetyHazard
Applied to
Building owner client
Electrical and mechanical code violations
Structural report
Balancing with
Confidentiality Principle
Scope-of-Work Limitation as Incomplete Ethical Defense
Concrete expression
Engineer A made only a 'brief mention' of his conversation with the client concerning the electrical and mechanical deficiencies in his structural report, raising the question of whether this constitutes adequate client notification of the safety hazard
Confidence
0.9
Importance
medium
Interpretation
A 'brief mention' of a conversation about safety-endangering code violations may be insufficient to discharge the client notification obligation — the principle requires clear, unambiguous notification of identified risks, not merely a passing reference to a conversation
Invoked by
Engineer A
Tension resolution
The brief mention likely falls short of adequate client notification — Engineer A should have provided a clear, detailed written notification of the code violations and their potential consequences for building occupants
Source Evidence
Source text

Text references
