Properties
Instance of
CodeExceptionClauseActivationforPublicSafetyDisclosure
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#CodeExceptionClauseActivationforPublicSafetyDisclosure
Applied to
Electrical and mechanical code violations in occupied building
Ethics code confidentiality provision
Ethics code public safety exception clause
Balancing with
Confidentiality Principle
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
Engineer A failed to recognize and activate the ethics code's public safety exception clause, treating the general confidentiality provision as absolute rather than reading the code as an integrated normative system in which the public safety exception qualifies the general confidentiality obligation
Confidence
0.94
Importance
high
Interpretation
The factual conditions for activating the public safety exception were present — code violations that could cause injury to building occupants — and Engineer A was obligated to recognize and apply the exception clause rather than treating the general confidentiality provision as controlling
Invoked by
Engineer A
Tension resolution
The exception clause should have been activated, requiring Engineer A to report the code violations to appropriate authorities — his failure to do so constitutes a misreading of the ethics code as a whole
Source Evidence
Source text
in view of the terms of the agreement, Engineer A does not report the safety violations to any third party
Text references
