Professional engineers have an obligation to ensure every project under their supervision is guarded against unethical and illegal practices. Although they may delegate work and authority to subordinates or site staff, this does not excuse them from their duty to impose proper controls, and ultimately they have to shoulder the responsibility for any slippage in the work that is carried out under their supervision. This chapter provides you with some preventive measures and guidelines for tackling ethical issues that commonly arise in engineering practice. They are particularly important to engineers who have a managerial role in their organizations. |
