Systemic Failure Escalation Obligation for Inspection Programs

Class 5d46f726
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SystemicFailureEscalationObligationforInspectionPrograms
Definition

Domain-specific principle requiring engineers responsible for public infrastructure inspection programs — including engineer interns with supervisory responsibility over field inspectors — to recognize and escalate evidence of systemic inspection failures (recurring missed defects, pattern non-reporting, multi-year lapses) to appropriate supervisory and program authorities, rather than treating each missed inspection as an isolated incident, because systemic failures in infrastructure inspection programs create compounding public safety risks that require programmatic rather than case-by-case remediation
