Resource Class: Engineer Public Safety Escalation Standard
Document Title: Professional norms governing engineer duty to escalate public safety concerns beyond immediate client interests
Created By: Professional engineering community / NSPE
Version: Current
Used By: Engineer A in deciding what to include in the board report
Used In Context: Grounds Engineer A's obligation to ensure that the board and potentially broader stakeholders are informed of the public safety risk (rolling blackouts) that could result from the solar transition, even if the client's primary interest is carbon footprint reduction
