Source Evidence
Text references
Engineer A's actions appear to be obvious: contact the client and inquire directly about the actions the client has taken and point out the violations of the law and that immediate steps need to be taken to remedy the violation.
If appropriate steps are not taken by the client, the engineer would have an obligation to bring this matter to the attention of the appropriate authorities.
The facts in the present case indicate a violation of the federal and state laws and regulations.
