Ohio Admin. Code 4733-35-03 - Responsibility to the public
The engineer or surveyor shall:
(A) Protect the safety, health and welfare of
the public in the performance of professional duties. Should the case arise
where the engineer or surveyor faces a situation where the safety, health and
welfare of the public is not protected, the engineer or surveyor shall:
(1) Sever the relationship with the employer
or client;
(2) Refuse to accept
responsibility for the design, report or statement involved;
(3) Notify the proper authority if, in his or
her opinion, the situation is sufficiently important.
(B) Undertake to perform assignments only
when the registrant's consulting support are qualified by training and
experience in the specific technical fields involved. In the event a question
arises as to the competence of an engineer or surveyor to perform an
engineering or surveying assignment in a specific technical field of
engineering or surveying which cannot be otherwise resolved to the board's
satisfaction, the board, either upon request of the engineer or surveyor or by
its own volition, may require the engineer or surveyor to submit to an
appropriate inquiry by or on behalf of the board;
(C) Be completely objective in any
professional report, statement or testimony and shall include all relevant and
pertinent information in the report, statement or testimony when the result of
omission would, or reasonably could, lead to a fallacious conclusion;
(D) Express an opinion as a
technical or expert witness before any court, commission or other tribunal,
only when it is founded upon adequate knowledge of the facts in issue, upon a
background of technical competence in the subject matter, and upon honest
conviction of the accuracy and propriety of his or her testimony.
