Inspector Misconduct Escalation Constraint

Class efc353d0
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#InspectorMisconductEscalationConstraint
Definition

Ethical, regulatory, and procedural constraint requiring that a supervising engineer intern or licensed professional engineer who discovers a subordinate inspector's multi-year pattern of systematic non-reporting of visibly obvious defects must escalate that inspector conduct finding — separately from and in addition to the structural defect finding — to the supervising licensed professional engineer and, if warranted, to appropriate personnel or disciplinary authorities, prohibiting treatment of the inspector's systematic non-reporting as a minor administrative matter subsumed within the structural defect report, and establishing that the inspector's pattern of conduct constitutes an independent program integrity failure requiring independent escalation.
