A risk condition in which a design detail exposes construction workers to potential injury, here structural connections located immediately beneath floor level in a tightly constrained space so that workers had to make the connections in a contorted fashion, an exposure distinct from a risk to the general public.
Inherited from RiskState
· note
A condition of hazard exposure: potential harm to public welfare, safety, or a protected interest. As a content kind it is the situation of exposure itself, independent of which obligation it activates. Its deontic relevance is that a hazard condition bears on the protective obligations a role exists to discharge and can license defeat of competing duties such as confidentiality when the harm is grave, the context-dependent priority reordering Almpani and Stefaneas (2022) formalize.

An epistemic condition in which whether a professional error was made is not clear in the circumstances and is not up to the professional to decide, with the determination deferred to a legal process based on the facts.
Inherited from EpistemicState
· note
A condition of what an agent knows, believes, or is uncertain of with respect to facts material to a decision. As a content kind it captures the agent's knowledge state, the classical Aristotelian epistemic condition for responsibility: an agent is answerable for conduct in proportion to what the agent knew or should have known; Sarmiento et al. (2022) name epistemic aspects fundamental for moving beyond causality to responsibility. Its deontic relevance is that knowledge conditions the obligations governing informed decision and decision-under-uncertainty.

An epistemic condition in which a professional, after the design work is complete and an event has occurred, comes to believe that a prior design decision may have been in error, here Engineer T's post-accident realization that alternative design concepts explored early on would have allowed connections to be made while standing on the floor with injury far less likely.

A formal document that codifies ethical principles and professional conduct requirements for a profession, such as the NSPE Code of Ethics, which a case actor may rely on when judging whether professional conduct like acknowledging a design error is required.
Inherited from EthicalCode

A formal document that codifies ethical principles and professional conduct requirements for a profession (e.g. the NSPE, IEEE, or ACM code of ethics). As a document (IAO:0000310 via Guideline) it contains principles, obligations, and constraints, and is itself a professional-knowledge Resource; it is not itself a principle.
