Client Cost-Driven Safety Standard Rejection State
Class
cb9819b2
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ClientCost-DrivenSafetyStandardRejectionState
Definition
State in which a developer or client has explicitly refused to adopt an engineer's technically grounded safety design standard — such as a 100-year storm surge elevation — on the basis of cost reduction objectives, where the rejected standard is supported by newly released technical data and algorithms, and where the consequence of the lower standard is foreseeable risk to future residents and the general public, triggering obligations to continue advocacy, consider withdrawal, and potentially engage local government to advance region-wide code reform.

Source Text
While the desire of the developer to reduce costs is understandable and a legitimate consideration, when weighed against the apparent substantial risk to life and property, the latter consideration should prevail.
