Class

http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SystemicInspectionFailureEscalationObligation
Definition
Duty of a licensed professional engineer or engineer intern responsible for a public infrastructure inspection program who discovers evidence that a field inspector has systematically failed to identify or report a visibly obvious safety defect over multiple inspection cycles to treat that pattern as evidence of a systemic program failure — distinct from a single missed inspection — and to escalate the systemic failure to program supervisors, quality assurance personnel, or regulatory authorities with sufficient specificity to trigger a comprehensive program review, inspector retraining or removal, and audit of all inspections conducted by the implicated inspector.
