http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#WrittenDocumentationRequirementforSafetyNotification
Applied to
100-year storm surge elevation recommendation
Client A Cost-Refusing Developer
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Concrete expression
Engineer A must document in writing the recommendation to build to the 100-year storm surge elevation, the scientific and professional basis for that recommendation, and Client A's refusal to comply, so as to create a clear and unambiguous record of Engineer A's professional judgment and the client's contrary decision
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, the written documentation obligation requires Engineer A to create a formal written record of the safety recommendation and the client's refusal, both to preserve Engineer A's ability to demonstrate discharge of professional obligation and to create an actionable record that could support subsequent escalation if warranted
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
The written documentation obligation is not contingent on client agreement; Engineer A must document the recommendation and the client's refusal regardless of Client A's preferences
Source Evidence
