Under Your Direct Supervision and When Your EIT Gets Independent - Ethics 2

[Envelope3]

Consider this scenario. EIT working under EOR for a few years and EOR is comfortable with the EIT's capability. EIT/EOR produces a set of sealed construction drawings for a building renovation. During construction admin, the EIT is the point man, making decisions as they come up without necessarily checking with the EOR in real time. One of these decisions is a structural oops that results in a collapse.

Question: Do you think the EOR has broken any ethics rules?
