Systemic Pattern Upward Disclosure Constraint

Class 5704a4ca
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SystemicPatternUpwardDisclosureConstraint
Definition

Ethical and procedural constraint requiring that a licensed professional engineer or engineer intern who discovers, through retrospective review of records, a multi-year pattern of systematic failure by a subordinate inspector or technician — including repeated non-reporting of the same visibly obvious defect — must disclose that systemic pattern in its entirety to the supervising licensed professional engineer, prohibiting partial disclosure that reports only the current defect while omitting the historical pattern, on the grounds that the systemic pattern constitutes independent and material safety-relevant information that the supervising PE requires to assess program integrity, inspector competence, and the cumulative risk created by years of unreported deterioration.
