Definition
Duty of a licensed professional engineer serving as a supervisor of an engineer intern or subordinate in a public infrastructure inspection program, upon receiving a report of a safety deficiency from that subordinate, to actively inquire into the full context of the reported deficiency — including the history of prior inspections, the duration of any apparent defect, and the completeness of the subordinate's investigation — rather than accepting a partial report at face value, so that the supervising PE can make an informed determination about the scope of corrective action required and the adequacy of the inspection program.
