Engineering Ethics Cases


Whistleblowing City Engineer --adapted from NSPE Case No. 88-6 , (edited by Pilat, 11/5/03)
http://www.onlineethics.org/cases/nspe/ec88-6.html
Mario, the City Engineer/Director of Public Works for a medium-sized city, is the only licensed professional engineer (and
also a civil engineer) in a position of responsibility within the city government. This city has several large food-processing
plants that discharge large amounts of waste into the wastewater system during canning season. Mario is responsible for
the wastewater treatment plant and reports to James about its operation.
Mario tells James that the wastewater treatment plant is not capable of handling potential overflow during the rainy season
and offers several possible solutions. James replies that they will face the problem when it happens.
Engineer Mario privately notifies other city officials about the wastewater treatment plant problem, but James removes the
responsibility for the sanitation system from Mario and gives it to Chris, a technician who is normally under Mario's
supervision. James instructs technician Chris to report directly to him and confirms this arrangement with a memo, which
is copied to engineer Mario. Mario is also placed on probation. He is warned that if he discusses the matter further, he
will be terminated.
Mario continues to work for the government as City Engineer/Director of Public Works; he assumes no responsibility for
the wastewater treatment plant, but continues to advise technician Chris without James's knowledge. During the winter,
heavy storms occur in the city. It becomes clear to those involved that if the wastewater treatment plant's waste water is
not released into the local river, the ponds will overflow and dump all of the waste into the river. Under state law, this
condition must be reported to the State Water Pollution Control Authority.
How would you respond to this situation? How do you assess engineer Mario's actions? What about James's
actions? What about technician Chris? What are engineer Mario's obligations1 to either James or the Public
Works Department? What are Mario's responsibilities2 for the environmental health of city residents? How might
these responsibilities be fulfilled simultaneously? Which takes precedence in case of conflict? What additional
information would you like to have, and what difference would it make to your assessment?
Definitions:
1 Obligations - Requirements arising from a person's situation or circumstances (e.g., relationships, knowledge, position)
that specify what must or must not be done for some moral, legal, religious, or institutional reasons. For example,
students have an obligation to see their advisor on or before Registration Day. People have a moral obligation to keep
their promises. Notice that usually statements of obligations specify what acts are required or forbidden without
reference to the consequences of performing the act (except insofar as these consequences are a part of the
characterization of the act itself -- for example, killing is an act that results in death.) However, occasionally you will
see such statements as "engineers have an obligation in their work to ensure public safety," meaning that engineers are
morally required to ensure the public safety but without specifying what acts they should or should not perform in order
to ensure safety. A legal obligation is a legal requirement that specifies what types of actions are permitted, forbidden,
or required on legal grounds. Often legal obligations are monetary debts. When we speak of an obligation without
specifying its nature we will mean a moral obligation.
2 Responsibility - The moral and forward-looking sense of responsibility is the sense in which one is responsible for
achieving (or maintaining) a good result in some matter. The idea is that one is entrusted with achieving or maintaining
this outcome, and expected to both have relevant knowledge and skills, and to make a conscientious effort. However,
despite one's best efforts, the result may not be achieved. For example, patients of responsible physicians may die, and
the work of a responsible engineer may result in an accident because the accident was not foreseeable, it was not
possible to compensate for the factors causing the accident, or because others were unwilling to heed the engineer's
warnings.
The moral and backward-looking sense of responsibility is that in which a person or group deserves ethical evaluation
for some act or outcome, that is deserves moral praise for a good outcome or blame for a bad one. The moral sense of
responsibility should not be confused with the causal sense of responsibility for some existing or past state of affairs.
For example, when we say that "the storm was responsible for three deaths and heavy property damage," meaning that
it caused these outcomes, we do not mean to attribute moral responsibility to the storm. Storms do not have moral
responsibilities, and are neither responsible or irresponsible in the moral sense. However, when a moral agent is
causally responsible for some outcome, that is some reason to think that the agent is morally responsible for it. Causal
responsibility is not conclusive evidence of moral responsibility, however. If one's actions case a terrible outcome only
because of bad moral luck, in the form of a freak accident, then one is not morally responsible for the outcome.

Forward-looking responsibilities are often specified in terms of the outcome to be achieved rather than the acts to be
performed. It takes judgment to figure out what acts will achieve a given outcome. For this reason you will hear the
phrase "the age of responsibility" or "the age of discretion" used to mean an age at which a person is sufficiently mature
to exercise such judgment. Such practical wisdom is not required in order to fulfill many obligations which are often
specified in terms of the acts to be performed or to be avoided. For example, contrast the engineer's responsibility for
the safety of the public with a citizen's obligation to testify when witness to a crime. Notice that "obligation" would
never be used in the way "responsible" is, to refer to a virtue of a person. That is, you would not say that so-and-so was
an "obligatory" person, though you may say she was "responsible."
Sometimes "responsibility" is used to mean an act one is required to perform, as in "It is your responsibility to take
minutes for this meeting." In this Center, the term "responsibility" will be used only for matters that require some
exercise of discretion and judgment and required acts will just be called "obligations."
Sometimes "responsible" is used in a phrase of the form "responsible to (some other party), in which the term
"responsible" is used as a synonym for "answerable" or "accountable." An example would be: "This citizens' group
was accountable/responsible/answerable to its parent organization." This use of the term "responsible" is easily
distinguished from the present one which is "responsible for (some matter for which one must exercise discretion)."
Official Responsibility
The responsibility that one is assigned as a result of one's job or office. Of course, official responsibilities might
require one to behave unethically - "it was my job" is not a valid excuse for immoral behavior. However, even when
the requirements of an official responsibility are ethically acceptable, the concept of an official responsibility functions
differently from moral responsibility. Official responsibility resembles moral responsibility in generating prescriptions
for conduct - duties, or at least statements about what someone "ought" to do. As philosopher John Ladd points out,
moral and official responsibility differ in at least two respects: First, official responsibilities are exclusionary - if one
person has a particular official responsibility, another person does not (unless, of course, it was part of the job
description of both). Second, official responsibilities, together with whatever rights, duties and requirements for
accountability attend them, are all alienable (see rights) - they can be given to or taken over by someone else. In
contrast, if one has a moral responsibility to inform the public about some matter, then even if one is in the position to
delegate that responsibility to someone else, one still must see that the responsibility is fulfilled, because one does not
get rid of a moral responsibility by giving it to someone else.
Professional Responsibility
Professional responsibility is a prominent example of the kind of moral responsibility that arises from the special
knowledge that one possesses. It is mastery of a special body of advanced knowledge, particularly knowledge that
bears directly on the well-being of others, that demarcates a profession. As custodians of special knowledge which
bears on human well-being, professionals are constrained by special moral responsibilities; that is, moral requirements
to apply their knowledge in ways that benefit the rest of the society.
Discussion of the Whistleblowing City Engineer Case - Case No. 88-6:
Facts:
Engineer A is employed as the City Engineer / Director of Public Works for a medium-sized city and is the only licensed
professional engineer in a position of responsibility in the city government. The city has several large food processing
plants that discharge very large amounts of vegetable wastes into the city's sanitary sewer (wastewater) system during the
canning season. Part of the canning season coincides with the rainy season.
Engineer A has the responsibility for the wastewater treatment plant and is directly responsible to City Administrator C.
Technician B answers to Engineer A.
During the course of employment, Engineer A notifies Administrator C of the inadequate capacity of the wastewater
treatment plant to handle the potential overflow during the rainy season and offers possible solutions. Engineer A has also
discussed the problem privately with certain members of the city council without the permission of City Administrator C.
City Administrator C has told Engineer A that "we will face the problem when it comes." City Administrator C orders
Engineer A to discuss the problems only with him and warns Engineer A that his job is in danger if Engineer A disobeys.
Engineer A again privately brings the problem up to other city officials. City Administrator C removes Engineer A from
responsibility of the entire sanitary system and the chain of command by a letter instructing Technician B that he is to take
responsible charge of the wastewater system and report directly to City Administrator C. Technician B asks for a
clarification and is again instructed via memo by City Administrator C that he, Technician B, is completely responsible and
is to report any interference by a third party to City Administrator C. Engineer A receives a copy of the memo. In
addition, Engineer A is placed on probation and ordered not to discuss this matter further and that if he does he will be
terminated.

http://courses.washington.edu/cee440/ETHICS1B.htm 2/12
4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

Engineer A continues in his capacity as City Engineer/Director of Public Works, assumes no responsibility for the disposal
plant and beds, but continues to advise Technician B without the knowledge of City Administrator C.
That winter during the canning season, particularly heavy storms occur in the city. It becomes obvious to those involved
that if waste water from the ponds containing the domestic waste is not released to the local river, the ponds will overflow
the levees and dump all waste into the river. Under state law, this condition is required to be reported to the state water
pollution control authority, the agency responsible for monitoring and overseeing water quality in state streams and rivers.
Question:
Did Engineer A fulfill his ethical obligation by informing City Administrator C and certain members of the city council of
her concerns?
References:
NSPE Code of Ethics- Section I.1.:"Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall hold paramount the
safety, health and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties."
Section II.1.a.:"Engineers shall at all times recognize that their primary obligation is to protect the safety, health, property
and welfare of the public. If their professional judgment is overruled under circumstances where the safety, health,
property or welfare of the public are endangered, they shall notify their employer or client and such other authority as may
be appropriate."
Section II.4.:"Engineers shall act in professional matters for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustees."
Section III.2.b.:"Engineers shall not complete, sign, or seal plans and/or specifications that are not of a design safe to the
public health and welfare and in conformity with accepted engineering standards. If the client or employer insists on such
unprofessional conduct, they shall notify the proper authorities and withdraw from further service on the project."
Discussion:
The engineer's obligation to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public in the performance of his
professional duties, is probably among the most basic. Clearly, its importance is evident by the fact that it is the very first
obligation stated in the NSPE Code of Ethics. Moreover, the premise upon which professional engineering exists -- the
engineering registration process -- is founded upon the proposition that in order to protect the public health and safety, the
state has an interest in regulating by law the practice of the profession.
While easily stated in the abstract, the breadth and scope of this fundamental obligation is far more difficult to fix. As we
have long known, ethics frequently involves a delicate balance between competing and, oft times, conflicting obligations.
However, it seems clear that where the conflict is between one important obligation or loyalty and the protection of the
public, for the engineer the latter must be viewed as the higher obligation.
The Board has faced this most difficult issue on two other occasions in somewhat dissimilar circumstances. In Case 65-12,
we dealt with a situation in which a group of engineers believed that certain machinery was unsafe, and we determined that
the engineers were ethically justified in refusing to participate in the processing or production of the product in question.
We recognized in that case that such action by the engineers would likely lead to the loss of employment.
More recently, in Case 82-5, the engineer was employed by a large industrial company and after reviewing plans for
materials supplied by a subcontractor, determined that they were inadequate both from a design and a cost standpoint and
therefore should be rejected. Thereafter, the engineer advised his superiors of the deficiencies but his recommendations
were rejected. The engineer persisted with his recommendations and was placed on probation with the warning that if his
job performance did not improve he would be terminated.
In finding that an engineer does not have an ethical obligation to continue an effort to secure a change in the policy of an
employer under these circumstances, or to report his concerns to the proper authority, we stated, nevertheless, that the
engineer has an ethical "right" to do so as a matter of personal conscience. We emphasized, however, that the case then
before us did not directly involve the protection of the public safety, health, and welfare, but rather was an internal dispute
between an employer and an employee.
In addition, we found in Case 82-5 that the situation presented has become well known in recent years as "whistleblowing"
and if an engineer feels strongly that an employer's course of action is improper when it relates to public concerns, and if
the engineer feels compelled to "blow the whistle" to expose the facts as he sees them, he may well have to pay the price of
loss of employment. We also commented that in recent years, engineers have gone through such experiences and even if
they have ultimately prevailed on legal or political grounds, the experience is not to be taken lightly. We concluded that
"the Code only requires that the engineer withdraw from a project and report to proper authorities when the circumstances
involve endangerment to the public safety, health and welfare."
Clearly, the case presently before the Board involves "endangerment to the public safety, health and welfare" -- the
contamination of the water supply -- and therefore it is clear that Engineer A has an obligation to report the matter to his
employer. Under the facts it appears that Engineer A has fulfilled this specific aspect of his obligation by reporting his
http://courses.washington.edu/cee440/ETHICS1B.htm 3/12
4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

concerns to City Administrator C and thereafter to certain members of the city council. However, under the facts of this
case, we believe Engineer A had an ethical obligation under the Code to go considerably farther.
As noted in Case 82-5 and in the Code, where an engineer determines that a case may involve a danger to the public
safety, the engineer has not merely an "ethical right" but has an "ethical obligation" to report the matter to the
proper authorities and withdraw from further service on the project. We believe this is particularly clear when the
engineer involved is a public servant (city engineer and director of public works).
In the context of this case, we do not believe that Engineer A's act of reporting his concerns to City Administrator C or
certain members of the city council constituted a reporting to the "proper authorities" as intended under the Code. Nor do
we believe, Engineer A's decision to assume no responsibility for the plant and beds constitutes a "withdrawal from further
service on the project."
It is clear under the facts of this case that Engineer A was aware of a pattern of ongoing disregard for the law by his
immediate superior as well as members of the city council. After several attempts to modify the views of her superiors, it
is our view that Engineer A knew or should have known that the "proper authorities" were not the city officials, but more
probably state officials (i.e., state water pollution control authority). We cannot find it credible that a City
Engineer/Director of Public Works for a medium-sized town would not be aware of this basic obligation. Engineer A's
inaction permitted a serious violation of the law to continue and appeared to make Engineer A an "accessory" to the
actions of City Administrator C and the others.
It is difficult for us to say exactly at what point Engineer A should have reported his concerns to the "appropriate
authorities." However, we would suggest that such reporting should have occurred at such time as Engineer A was
reasonably certain that no action would be taken concerning her recommendations either by City Administrator C or the
members of the city council and, that in his professional judgment, a probable danger to the public safety and health then
existed.
In addition, we find it troubling that Engineer A would permit his professional integrity to be compromised in the manner
herein described. As the legally established city engineer and director of public works, Engineer A allowed his
engineering authority to be circumvented and overruled by a non-engineer under circumstances involving the public
safety. It is clear that Engineer A had an ethical obligation to report this occurrence to the "proper authorities" as stated
above.
In closing, we must acknowledge a basic reality that must confront all engineers faced with similar decisions. As we noted
in Cases 65-12 and 82-5, the engineer who makes the decision to "blow the whistle" will in many instances be faced with
the loss of employment. While we recognize this sobering fact, we would be ignoring our obligation to the Code and
hence to the engineering profession if, in matters of public health and safety, we were to decide otherwise. For an
engineer to permit her professional obligations and duties to be compromised to the point of endangering the public
safety and health does grave damage to the image and interests of all engineers.
Conclusion:*
Engineer A did not fulfill his ethical obligations by informing the City Administrator and certain members of the
city council of her concerns.

Idaho Falls City Engineer Refuses to Sign & Seal Project Designs
A very important legal case has unfolded in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This case involves the issue of responsible charge, which
goes to the heart of the Engineering Profession. Ed Turner, PE, a member of NSPE, has been engaged in a protracted legal
battle with the City of Idaho Falls over the past three years. Ed was the City Engineer until he was forced to resign for
refusing to sign and seal projects over which he did not have responsible charge. The projects included land development
plats or plans by private firms that Ed as City Engineer was required by law to review and approve for the city (but not
required to seal) and design documents done by city staff. He acted ethically and morally. His conduct was exemplary and

highly professional. Ed Turner, PE, the former City Engineer of Idaho Falls, Idaho has been waging a valiant battle on
behalf of the Engineering Profession. Ed sacrificed his career and economic well being as well as his peace of mind to
uphold the highest principles of the Engineering Profession and to defend the public’s health, safety and welfare.
Ed had been a highly regarded and efficient City Engineer for Idaho Falls for over 27 years when he was forced to resign
for refusing to sign and seal projects over which he did not have responsible charge. A new city administration demoted
him to make room for a non-Engineer, but still required him to sign and seal plans over which he no longer had
responsible charge. He refused because it was a clear violation of the Idaho Professional Engineer Licensure Law. A non-
engineer demanded that Ed perform actions that would violate his code of ethics and the Idaho Engineering
Licensure Statue in order to satisfy some special interests. To his credit, Ed stuck to his principles and upheld the
Engineer’s Credo which mandates that a Professional Engineer “live and work according to the laws of man and
the highest standards of professional conduct…” and “place….the public welfare above all other considerations.”
The AEA (American Engineering Alliance) has concentrated its public relations effort on publicizing the Ed Turner legal
case in Idaho Falls, Idaho. As many of you know, Ed Turner has been engaged in a protracted legal battle with the City of
Idaho Falls. Ed was forced to resign because he refused to sign and seal projects over which he did not have responsible
charge. He acted ethically and professionally. His conduct is a shining example of true professionalism which all
engineers should strive to emulate.
The issues at stake in this case are so critical to the very survival of the engineering profession that AEA has committed
considerable resources to seeing that Ed Turner prevails in his lawsuit. AEA has taken the lead in mobilizing support for
Ed Turner within the engineering community. We intend to intensify our public relations effort until the mass media picks
up this story and starts covering this very important case which has major implications not only for the engineering
community but also to the public at large
Idaho Society of PE Board Responds to Turner Controversy
The following letter from the Idaho Society of Professional Engineers' Board of Directors was received by Engineering
Times in response to the engineering ethics case involving NSPE member Ed Turner and his former employer, the City of
Idaho Falls.
The Ed Turner case has been an emotionally charged issue in Idaho, and nationally. For those who may be unfamiliar with
the case, a brief synopsis follows. Turner had been a design engineer and the city engineer for the City of Idaho Falls,
Idaho, for 27 years. As city engineer since 1981, Turner had supervisory, management, and administrative duties for the
engineering department. A new public works director, hired in 1985, relieved Turner of his supervisory, management, and
administrative duties and appointed a non-engineer as engineering department administrator. Turner retained the city
engineer title, but expressed concerns that he no longer had departmental responsible charge. Turner filed a grievance
under the city's personnel rules in April 1996, and was demoted to design engineer in June. He resigned in July 1996 and
sued the city, claiming wrongful constructive discharge; wrongful termination in violation of public policy; breach of
contract; breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; defamation; intentional infliction of emotional
distress; and negligent supervision.
Turner, a member of NSPE and the Idaho Society of Professional Engineers, apprised the Idaho licensure board of his
situation. However, no written complaint was ever filed with the Idaho board, and its policy is to hear alleged violations
only when a written complaint is filed. The board wrote the city informing them of the Idaho code requirements, noting
that the city engineer and engineering administrator job descriptions were very similar and if the engineering administrator
performed "engineering," that individual would be required to be a licensed engineer.
Turner's case came up at nearly every ISPE Board of Directors meeting for three years, and was discussed often by
members. Opinions varied from total support for Turner to the belief that the city should have fired Turner and retained
another engineer. All ISPE members contacted agreed responsible charge was the core issue, but there was no consensus
that Turner's supervisors pushed him to do work over which he did not have responsible charge.
An Idaho statute forbids termination of an employee because they refuse to break a law. Turner claimed that he was forced
to resign because he refused to seal and sign documents over which he did not have responsible charge. In ruling for the
city, the court noted that Turner was hypothetically correct, and that being discharged because of a refusal to seal
documents over which one did not have responsible charge would violate public policy. The court found, however, that of
the 37 documents Turner refused to seal and sign, 36 were plats or plans by private firms that he was required by law to
review and sign off on for the city, but not required to seal and sign. The remaining document was a design done by city
staff, which the city claimed was completed essentially under Turner's direction before he was demoted. The court also
concluded that Turner retained control of the department's design work, and the fact that he had been relieved of
supervisory duties did not preclude him from being in responsible charge of this work.

4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

In dismissing Turner's case, the court concluded that there was no basis for any of Turner's claims, either as a matter in law
or fact. Some of the claims were set aside because of improper filing, which has resulted in a malpractice lawsuit by
Turner against his original legal counsel. The city also counter-sued Turner for legal costs. Rather than continue an
uncertain and costly legal battle, Turner settled with the city, agreed not to appeal his case, and paid the city $10,000 for
legal costs.
The fact that the case was never actually tried meant two things. First, the claims and counter-claims were never
completely analyzed, debated, and resolved. Second, there was no opportunity for NSPE, ISPE, or anyone else to testify
on Turner's behalf, or file a friend-of-the-court brief.
ISPE, NSPE, and the Idaho licensing board have been criticized for not taking a stronger stand in Turner's case. As the
ISPE Board of Directors, we felt Turner's situation was, by and large, a personnel grievance issue, and that ISPE's interest
was limited solely to the responsible charge issue.
July 2, 2000 Ed Turner Awarded $285,000 in Legal Fees in Legal Malpractice Lawsuit
Ed Turner was completely vindicated in District Court of Kenyon County, Idaho (near Boise). A jury took less than eight
hours to render him a verdict and awarded him $285,000 in legal fees. For those of your colleagues who are not familiar
with this case, I will briefly summarize the case now.
Ed Turner was the City Engineer of Idaho Falls, Idaho; he was there for over twenty seven years. About four years ago,
there was a reorganization of the City Engineering Department, and a non Engineer was put in charge of the Engineering
Department. Ed was asked to sign documents over which he did not have responsible charge. Since this violated the
Idaho Engineering Statute and the code of ethics for Professional Engineers, Ed refused to sign the documents.
Because of his refusal, he was demoted and stripped of all supervisory functions. As a result of intolerable working
conditions, Ed resigned. Subsequently, Ed sued the city of Idaho Falls. His case was ultimately thrown out on a
technicality. Because he felt could not get a fair trial in Idaho Falls, he decided to settle with the city. He then sued his
lawyer for malpractice. Ed was advised to seek legal justice in another jurisdiction because it appeared that he could not
get a fair trial in Idaho Falls. After many hardships, the case finally went to trial, and in less two weeks a jury returned a
favorable verdict, which completely vindicated Ed and also made him financially whole. The case was finally over and
justice rendered on June 23, 2000.
This case is extremely important to the Engineering Profession, in that it re-affirmed the issue of "Responsible Charge" as
being central to the discharging of the responsibilities of the Professional Engineer. Although the case was a malpractice
lawsuit, Ed's lawyer had to prove that his original case against the city of Idaho Falls would have been won if his original
lawyer had not mishandled the case. In essence, Ed's present lawyer had to win two cases which in legal lingo is called the
"case within a case"; first he had to demonstrate that the original case which hinged on the issue of Responsible Charge,
could have been won if the lawyer had done a proper job. Secondly, he had to demonstrate that his original lawyer had
been negligent.
The American Engineering Alliance, along with other Engineering Societies and many members of the Engineering
Community, supported Ed and his legal struggle over the years. Now that the Engineering Profession has won this major
legal victory, we need to publicize it to the rest of the Engineering Community and the public.

Trench Boxes And The Construction Site Social Responsibility Versus Legal Liability
http://ethics.tamu.edu/ethics/trench/trench.htm June, 1992
Ethical Issues Of The Case
1) Where does the responsibility of the engineer end and the responsibility of the
construction site contractor begin?
2) Should engineers allow construction workers to endanger their lives by not using trench boxes on-site?
3) Should construction management be held responsible for ensuring that trench boxes are used?
What is their responsibility?
4) If social responsibility comes before legal liability, what would you do in a similar situation,
given that the OSHA regulations make use of trench boxes optional?
Synopsis
Trench digging is one of the oldest types of construction work documented in history. Prior to World War II, trenches were
dug by hand. As workers dug trenches deeper, the sides of the trench had to be shored, or supported, to keep the walls of
the trench from collapsing. Following the war, innovations were made in cable backhoes, and trench digging disappeared
as an established profession. By the 1950's, hydraulically-actuated backhoes were developed, making it possible to rapidly

http://courses.washington.edu/cee440/ETHICS1B.htm 6/12
4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

dig very deep trenches. As a result of backhoe innovations, and because there were no workers inside the trenches during
digging, trench walls were no longer shored.
All trenches have what is known as a stand-up time. The stand-up time is the time that elapses from the time the trench is
dug until the trench walls start collapsing. Stand-up time is dependent on many factors, including soil type, water content,
trench depth, weather conditions, and whether or not the soil has been previously disturbed. Stand-up times can be as short
as zero seconds or as long as several months, and are difficult to predict. Before trenches are dug, someone can take soil
samples as a means of estimating stand-up time; however, soil conditions can be dramatically disparate only a few feet
from where the soil sample was taken.
After a trench is dug, workers go down into the trench, performing whatever work is necessary, such as laying pipe or
telephone lines, welding pipe, or installing valves. If the walls of the trench are not supported, there is the possibility that
the walls will collapse and trap the workers in the trench (see view of trench contained on the following page). Historically,
there have been between 100 and 300 people killed in the United States every year due to trench collapses. The state of
Texas usually leads the nation in this statistic.
Professional Responsibility And Use Of Trench Boxes
The public has become increasingly aware that industrial progress often has negative side-effects. The place of engineers
in protecting the public from these negative effects is a controversial issue. This controversy becomes especially spirited
when moral responsibility may appear wider than legal responsibility. The use of trench boxes on construction sites
illustrates this debate.
A trench box (also called a trench shield) may be placed in the trench to prevent trench failures from injuring workers. A
trench box consists of two large plates, usually made of steel, which are parallel to the walls of the trench, and horizontal
cross-members which hold the two plates apart. The lower edge of the box rests on the bottom of the trench, and the top
edge extends above the tope of the trench. The workers stay between the plates of the trench box, so that if the wall of the
trench collapses, the dirt will be stopped by the trench box. As work progresses, the trench box is pulled along the trench
with a backhoe.
Due to the added expense of using the trench box, many contractors are reluctant to use them. They know that if a worker
is killed or injured in a trench wall collapse, State Workman's Compensation will cover all medical expenses and reimburse
the families of the deceased workers. Barring gross negligence, the families are not allowed to sue in Texas, where about
10-15% of the annual fatalities occur.
When a construction project requires a large excavation, such as digging the foundation for a tall building, the support
structure for the excavated walls is specified in the plans. The main problem involving nonuse of trench boxes occurs in
cities, when water or sewer lines are being installed or repaired. The engineer usually does not specify the support
structure for the trench on the plans, but leaves that to the contractor.
In September 1987, a bill was passed in Texas that required the following: plans for city projects had to include the support
structure on the plans, the support structure (or trench box) had to be included in the bid for the project, and the contractor
had to install the trench box in the trench. In 1987, before the bill was passed, 18 people died in Texas due to trench wall
collapses. In 1988, only two people were killed, and both of these deaths were not the result of a trench box inadequacy.
In January 1990, the law was changed. Plans are now only required to show the Federal Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulation for trench support on the plans, not the actual design of the support system itself. It is
up to the contractor to provide a suitable support system for the trench. The OSHA regulation gives the following four
ways of providing for proper trench support:
1. Slope the sides of the trench to a specified angle, thus eliminating the need for all support.
2. Look at the soil and determine the type of support required from the tables provided in the OSHA regulation.
3. Hire an engineer to design a suitable support system.
4. Go to a trench wall manufacturer and use their tables for determining the proper support system.
Engineering Design: Literature On Social Responsibility Versus Legal Liability
Introduction
Litigation associated with engineering design has escalated enormously over the last few decades, and has increased the
intensity of debates over whether engineers and their companies should give priority to social responsibility or legal
liability. Where does a design engineer and his/her company's responsibility end and the responsibility of the
subcontractor, manufacturer and consumer begin? Liability is complicated by the fact that law typically lags behind
social costs associated with failed design. In other words, legislation is often after-the-fact, so how can an engineering
firm justify its actions based on current legal definitions? If a company's design has adverse affects on the public welfare,

http://courses.washington.edu/cee440/ETHICS1B.htm 7/12
4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

laws must be enacted to ensure that appropriate safety standards are met. Or, at the very least, legal suits are filed so
injured parties can be compensated and culprits penalized. This phenomenon has become particularly critical regarding
litigation involving engineering design and product liability.
The public has become increasingly aware that benefits of industrial progress are often associated with negative side-
effects. The responsibility of engineers in protecting the public from these side-effects is the focus of a lively debate. This
is intensified by the fact that legal liability and social responsibility may not always coincide.1
What should be said about the engineer's and his/her company's social responsibility? Is it not their job to act as
society's protector? Should social responsibility not precede any discussion of legal liability? And should a design
engineer not take every precaution to ensure his/her company's product is safe before it enters the market? Safety must be
an essential design consideration. As Christopher D. Stone notes in his "Where the Law Ends: The Social Control of
Corporate Behavior,"
Even if we put aside the defects in the impact of the sanctions, there still remains the problem that law is primarily a
reactive institution. Lawmakers have to appreciate and respond to problems that corporate engineers, chemists, and
financiers were anticipating (or should have anticipated) long before that the drugs their corporations are about to produce
can alter consciousness or damage the gene pool of the human race, that they are on the verge of multinational expansion
that will endow them with the power to trigger worldwide financial crises in generally unforeseen ways, and so on. Even
if laws could be passed to deal effectively with these dangers, until they are passed a great deal of damage some perhaps
irreversible can be done. Thus, there is something grotesque and socially dangerous in encouraging corporate managers to
believe that, until the law tells them otherwise, they have no responsibilities beyond the law and their impulses (whether
their impulses spring from the id or from the balance sheet). We do not encourage human beings to suppose so. And the
dangers to society seem all the more acute where corporations are concerned.2
Social Responsibility for Public Safety An Overview
With corporate decision-making structures as the focus, we find that many of the difficult ethical choices corporate
managers and design engineers must make involve conflicts regarding who is responsible for a given activity. Managers
and engineers alike have different obligations depending on their role within the corporation. Managers often perceive
themselves as having a special duty to protect the financial well-being of the company. Engineering codes assign to
engineers special duty to protect the public. Whether these roles are appropriate and especially whether this narrow
conception of the role of managers is adequate is a matter of debate. As one writer has put it, "Corporate role morality
takes as given precisely what classical moral theory wishes to evaluate, the worthiness of the duties assigned by one's
role."3
If engineers do have a special obligation to the health and safety of the public, an engineer must often place his/her social
responsibility over the objectives of his/her employer. "Just as we must know the rules of baseball to know what to do
with the ball, so we must know engineering ethics to know, for example, whether, as engineers, we should merely weigh
safety against the wishes of our employer or instead give safety preference over those wishes."4 Sometimes a cost/benefit
analysis is not enough, especially when lives are at stake.
In his "Explaining Wrongdoing," Michael Davis emphasizes the need for professionals to distance themselves from a
"microscopic" way of looking at their role within the corporation, to look up from their given tasks to see the larger
implications of the work they perform for society. In essence, Davis argues that problems associated with professional
ethics center on these fundamental questions of social obligation. Using the famous Challenger disaster as a case study,
Davis shows that while no one broke the law in Challenger, there was clearly wrongdoing on the part of Morton Thiokol's
managers and engineers. "For an engineer, safety is the paramount consideration. The engineers could not say the launch
would be safe. So, Lund should have delayed the launch. Seven people died, in part at least, because he did not do what,
as an engineer, he was supposed to do."5 This is not simply limited to highly publicized disasters. In all fields of
engineering, concern over safety, and the engineer's responsibility for ensuring it, is paramount. In his "Safety An
Important Responsibility," Carlton Robinson argues that safety is an especially critical factor for transport engineers and
their managers. Given the volume of traffic on roads, safety must come before cost considerations in highway design
and construction. Carlton argues that if, at present, increased safety is not the primary goal in engineering design and
construction projects, it should be.6 Safety is a social, not a legal obligation, and engineers and their managers must
always keep their obligations to the public welfare at the fore when making design and management decisions.
Another example on the importance of choosing social responsibility over the law involves the Soldier of Fortune guns-
for-hire classified advertising cases. In his article, Don Tomlinson asks whether we are first professionals or first human
beings. While placing guns-for-hire advertisements was not illegal, it was immoral, and people died because of the
advertisements. Soldier of Fortune acted irresponsibly toward the public, and "Law cannot shield anyone from the most
basic duty all human beings owe all other human beings: respect for life. Law and ethics are not one and the same.

Further, using law as a justification for conduct which is socially irresponsible is socially irresponsible itself."7 The same
duties apply to engineering design and management.
Quality engineering is a necessity. This means there is a need for creative engineering and ethical corporate practice. The
American Society of Civil Engineering Code of Ethics states that "engineers must hold the public safety, welfare,
and health paramount and use our knowledge and skill for the enhancement of human welfare."8 When engineers,
managers, corporate owners, contractors, subcontractors and inspectors take pride in and responsibility for their designs the
entire engineering profession benefits. According to Charlton Moorman, ethical engineering practice positively affects
engineering creativity, and the "engineering profession benefits when ethics are followed and creativity is used by the
engineer. When not followed, bad public relations are a possibility for the engineer, the company employing the engineer
and the profession in general."9
Professional engineering societies play a significant role in ensuring that safety standards are maintained, and it is
imperative that individual professional engineers adhere to what his/her society mandates. Michael Davis notes that in
thinking like an engineer, one must remember the place of a code of ethics in the practice of his/her profession:
Engineers should not only do as their profession's code requires, but should also support it less directly by encouraging
others to do as it requires and by criticizing, ostracizing, or otherwise calling to account those who do not. They should
support their profession's code in these ways for at least four reasons: First, engineers should support their
profession's code because supporting it will help protect them and those they care about from being injured by what other
engineers do. Second, supporting the code will also help assure each engineer a working environment in which it will be
easier than it would otherwise be to resist pressures to do much that the engineer would rather not do. Third, engineers
should support their profession's code because supporting it helps make their profession a practice of which they need not
feel morally justified embarrassment, shame, or guilt. And fourth, one has an obligation of fairness to do his part insofar
as he claims to be an engineer and other engineers are doing their part in generating these benefits for all engineers.10
Sometimes, however, even when engineers meet their design obligations, failures still occur. What is the engineer's
responsibility once the design is handed over to a contractor, subcontractor or the consumer? Is the designer liable for
aiding others in the use of a product? What criteria can the engineer invoke? In his "Charity and the Duty to Rescue," John
Whelan says, "there is not a duty to aid; however, many failures to aid deserve moral criticism; and some of them deserve
very serious moral criticism."11 He notes that one must distinguish between morally objectionable failures to aid and
those which are merely failures of consideration. They are distinguishable by knowing what the obligations of the rescuer
(or in this case, the engineer) are. "Knowledge (or any reasonable belief)...is relevant to any obligation. ...what matters[;
however,] is whether you can do something about it."12 In determining whether you are obligated to do something to
prevent harm to others, two of his six rules apply directly to engineering design: 1) that there is sufficient professional
reason to believe that you can prevent unreasonable danger at little cost to yourself; and 2) that you do not have sufficient
reason to believe someone else can prevent harm if you do not.13 This raises serious questions about the meaning of
'safety' and 'unreasonable danger' as design considerations.
One of the problems is that engineers are often not educated to look at notions of "unreasonably dangerous products." In
his work, D. Muster uses the analogy of medical health practitioners to encourage a forensic approach to engineering.
"Some engineers tend to ignore design considerations that cannot be quantified easily for analysis or, at least, they consider
them to be of less importance than others which lend themselves readily to being modelled and analysed."14 For Muster,
the real problem engineers face is that they are not properly educated in product liability law and the legal concept of an
"unreasonably dangerous product," so they do not fully appreciate when they are ethically obligated to assist others in the
product chain.
Strict liability for a defective product falls into three categories, and all three are significant in the chain: design,
manufacturing, and marketing. In particular, Muster notes that "A marketing defect is synonymous with the failure of a
manufacturer to give adequate warnings and instructions for the proper use of his product."15 This is also true for the
designer. When looking at whether there was an "unreasonable" danger, courts test the product as to whether it was: state-
of-the-art, an unavoidably unsafe product, misused by the user, or misused in a way that could have been foreseen.
Like the other authors, Muster argues that safety is an essential design consideration, and, given all the educational
programs and literature available to engineers, "no designer can claim the information on which to base a safe design is
unavailable."16 He further notes, like Stone, that most design changes are directly attributable to product liability
litigation, and that safe products are part of good business practice. Thus, safety is seen as the absence of unreasonable
danger. Anything short of that can be considered morally unacceptable. Yet, morally unacceptable conduct continues
apace, and the amount of litigation escalates. So, let us look at the consequences for the engineering profession.
Legal and Social Consequences for the Engineering Profession

4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

As we have already pointed out, claims against design professionals and their companies are on the increase. Even if the
professional engineer believes he/she has done everything to avoid "unreasonable" danger, accidents happen, and designers
are increasingly held liable for construction and product mishaps. Engineers must, therefore, familiarize themselves
with the legal doctrines of informed consent, novel tort remedies and reforms, third-party liability issues, liability
insurance and legislative lobbying techniques.
The legal doctrine of informed consent is based on tort law. In A History and Theory of Informed Consent, a "tort" is
defined as "a civil injury to one's person or property that is intentionally or negligently inflicted by another and that is
measured in terms of, and compensated by, money damages."17 Any failure to obtain informed consent in situations
where it is legally required is considered a "tort." While the book deals almost exclusively with medical ethics, the
implications for engineering designers is clear.
In recent years, a novel theory of tort remedy, the "Hedonic tort," is becoming more prominent. The "Hedonic tort" remedy
considers as its base the theory of individual happiness, and its attributes include "quality of life factors such as
environmental standards, quality of education, weather, and the amounts of time spent pursuing vocations."18 According
to Jack Karns, individual happiness is based on three factors: "a. degree of moral virtue, b. degree of good fortune with
which the individual is blessed, and c. [and most important for the design engineer's consideration] whether a tragic choice
is made based on circumstances beyond someone's control."19 Hedonic damage suits could conceivably ruin a
professional's (and his/her firm's) reputation, never mind financial viability to practice. Thus, this theory of tort remedy
could have significant impacts on product design, incorporating additional safety features in order to minimize such
damage claims.
One of the problems associated with tort reform, however, is the issue of insurance. Because claims have increased
substantially in the last few decades, battles over reform have escalated since the early 1980's. As Dennis Schapker notes,
many firms have responded to these increased claims by dropping their insurance coverage's of 1990, 21% of all design
firms were uninsured. This percentage of uninsured firms does not bode well for the engineering profession as a whole.
Thus, he argues that design professionals must get involved in the debate over tort reform.20 This call to action becomes
more urgent as designers are increasingly being held responsible for negligence in their work (including the work of their
subcontractor), despite written contract disclaimers aimed at defending their interests. Civil Engineering notes that "the
privity of contract defense is no longer an absolute shield that design professionals may use to protect themselves from
liability to third parties."21 Thus, engineers must know about tort reform and liability insurance in a way that was
unnecessary even a few years ago.
While insurance is not an excuse for unprofessional behavior, engineers must know more about it. In his case study of an
insurance carrier, Randall Horne notes that, "With the ever-increasing tendency toward litigation, clients have begun to
view their design professional's liability insurance as a potential source of full reimbursement for any damages they may
incur."22 This can be a paralyzing concept for the engineer, to say the very least. Claims against designers not only mean
increased insurance expenses, but also loss of the good will of clients and a tarnished reputation that can harm future
business prospective. "Although it may be difficult to assign a monetary value to these losses, it is not difficult to imagine
that they could be career or at least business threatening."23
Thus, engineers must get involved, as must their societies. The nature of engineering in the United States means that each
state can create unique laws governing the practice of engineering. This has resulted in a liability crisis of the first order.
While most recognize the need for engineers to place their social responsibility over issues of legal liability, many petty
law suits make practicing as a professional a risky venture. If engineers get involved in the debate over legal liability,
perhaps they can spend more time policing themselves, and less time in the court room. Mark Friedlander, a liability
attorney, argues that engineers and their societies must acquire the requisite knowledge about liability issues, and then
lobby for legislation that will protect them from the ever-increasing litigation crisis. "Among the most costly and frivolous
lawsuits are construction-site-accident claims. Engineers ordinarily have no responsibility for construction-site safety.
Nevertheless, obtaining indemnity against these claims from the contractor, or defense under the contractor's
general liability policy, is difficult. In my experience, such claims constitute most frivolous malpractice claims filed
against design professionals."24
If engineers are better educated about the litigation process, perhaps they can better serve society at large. The courts are
siding with contractors, which means that the public feels engineers should continue answering for their designs on site.
And maybe they should take a more active role. The only way to know for sure that their design instructions are being
adhered to is by getting involved, and knowing what both their social as well as legal responsibilities are. Only then can
they determine, and influence society at large about, the benefits from their work.
Ethical Issues Of The Case Points For Discussion

http://courses.washington.edu/cee440/ETHICS1B.htm 10/12
4/16/2019 Engineering Ethics Cases

In the light of the essay in the previous section, how would you say the social contract between engineering professionals
and the public applies to the use of trench walls?
In "Professional Responsibility for Harmful Actions," Martin Curd and Larry May propose the following simplified
account of professional responsibility embodying a rather crude model of negligence:
The Malpractice Model of Professional Responsibility: A professional, S, is negligent and hence responsible for the harm
he or she causes, if his or her behavior fits the following pattern:
1) as a member of his or her profession, S has a duty to conform to the standard operating procedures of his or her
profession;
2) at time t, action X conforms to the standard operating procedures of S's profession;
3) S omits to perform X at time t;
4) harm is caused to some person, P, as a result of S's failure to do X; that is, if S had done X, then the harm to P would not
have occurred.25
Is there a violation of this model when engineers allow construction sites to operate without the safety feature of
trench boxes? If not, is the model itself defective? If so, how should it be changed? Assume that a patient in a local
hospital with a serious malady has a doctor who believes he is not knowledgeable enough about that malady. He
goes to his medical colleagues on the hospital staff and asks their advice. They all refuse to talk to him, since the
patient is not theirs. They cite possible malpractice liability insurance problems as their reason. They believe
existing state-level "good-samaritan" laws will not protect them in these circumstances. Does this mean the patient
has to hire the other expert doctors to protect himself? What if the patient is not even aware of their refusal to
cooperate and is never told about it? Certainly, this analogy pertains to the use of trench boxes.
