Undisclosed Preliminary Risk State
rdfs:subClassOf States
Review
Unverified Risk Concern State
C8
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a professional has identified a preliminary concern about a potential risk to public safety or welfare during the course of contracted work, but has not disclosed that concern to the client or affected parties before a work suspension or other interruption occurs, leaving the client without information needed to make informed decisions during the intervening period.
Inherited from UnverifiedRiskConcernState · note
State in which a professional has a concern or suspicion about a potential risk but has not yet developed the analysis to a point where the concern constitutes a technical or factual finding. The concern is real but unquantified, creating an intermediate epistemic condition that does not yet trigger mandatory disclosure obligations but may support prudent voluntary disclosure.

Client Deferral of Compliance State

Review
Client Override of Safety Recommendation State
C8
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a client, having been informed of a confirmed or qualitatively assessed risk and of applicable regulatory requirements, explicitly declines to implement recommended protective measures and instead states an intention to address compliance issues only if and when required in the future, creating a condition in which the professional's safety and compliance obligations remain active while the client's posture is one of deliberate deferral.
Inherited from ClientOverrideofSafetyRecommendationState · note
State in which a client has been informed of a professional's safety recommendation and has explicitly directed the professional to proceed without implementing that recommendation, citing cost or other business constraints, creating a direct tension between the client's authority over project scope and the professional's duty to protect public safety and comply with applicable regulatory standards.
