Case context
Engineer T designed structural modifications with constrained-access connection details, noted the access limitation in design documents, and transferred construction safety responsibility to the contractor via standard contract language, but did not actively seek constructability or safety review input.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.81
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer T
Obligation statement
Engineer T had an opportunity — and arguably a defeasible obligation — to solicit a constructability review, independent construction safety review, or inquiry into the contractor's safety plan before construction commenced, given that the structural modification design involved constrained-access connection details that posed foreseeable heightened safety risk to workers.
Temporal scope
During design completion and pre-construction phases, before construction commenced

Source text
Another option would have been for Engineer T to request a constructability review, or an independent construction safety review, or to inquire whether the contractor's construction safety plan had flagged the heightened safety risk.

Another option would have been for Engineer T to request a constructability review, or an independent construction safety review, or to inquire whether the contractor's construction safety plan had flagged the heightened safety risk.
But Engineer T did not actively seek this input, and perhaps that is why Engineer T 'felt some personal responsibility for the accident.'
