Going-AlongProhibitionWhenSafetyConcernsAreReal
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Going-AlongProhibitionWhenSafetyConcernsAreReal
Applied to
Engineer A's silent continuation of project work after client rejected safety staffing recommendation on cost grounds
Balancing with
Client Loyalty
Faithful Agent Obligation Within Ethical Limits
Concrete expression
After identifying the dangerous nature of the construction phase and recommending a full-time on-site representative, Engineer A accepted the client's cost-based refusal and proceeded without further dissent, insistence, or escalation — the paradigmatic 'going along' prohibited when safety concerns are genuine
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Interpretation
Engineer A's verbal recommendation, once refused, required continued advocacy, formal documentation, or withdrawal — not silent compliance with the client's cost-driven decision to forgo safety measures
Invoked by
Engineer A (as obligation-bearer)
Tension resolution
Going-along is prohibited regardless of client economic pressure; Engineer A was required to persist in advocacy or withdraw
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A proceeds with his work on the project.
Text references
