Construction Safety Domain Incompetence State
Class

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ConstructionSafetyDomainIncompetenceState
Definition
State in which a licensed structural or civil engineer, competent in their primary design domain, lacks the education or experience in construction safety to assess the worker safety risks posed by specific design details — such as constrained-access connection locations — because construction safety is not typically included in civil engineering education and the engineer has no contractor-side experience, creating ambiguity about the scope of the engineer's professional responsibility for foreseeable construction hazards.

Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] State in which a licensed professional engineer holds valid licensure and possesses competence in one or more engineering domains but lacks the education, training, or experience required to perform competently in a specific technical subdomain or practice area for which they have accepted an assignment, creating a gap between general professional standing and domain-specific capability.
Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer T was not trained in construction safety either by education (since civil engineering education typically does not include construction safety) or by specific experience (working for a construction contractor)
