ETHICAL CODE

Utilitarianism

Virtue Ethics

ETHICAL CODE

Duty Ethics

Utilitarianism The engineering company should use good quality materials & monitor the workmanship of their workers. Don’t just think about profit without considering adverse effects which may occur in the future.

Duty Ethics Responsible parties should take immediate action when they notice any problem. However, they turned a blind eye and act like nothing has happen.

Virtue Ethics Should show good character instead of bad character. Should follow all rules and specification without neglecting even one small detail. There must be a good reason behind each specification.

CODE OF CONDUCT

“A registered engineer shall at this times hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public”

They can be considered as neglected the safety of the public. 5 workers have injured. Imagine if there was a ceremony takes place.

1.3. “A Professional Engineer shall certify satisfactory completion of a piece of works only if he has control over the supervision of the construction or installation of that work, and only if he is satisfied that the construction or installation has fulfilled the requirements of the engineering design and specifications” In this case, a consultant engineer was charged. Wan Manan was alleged to have acted like an approved examiner in issuing a document dated Jan 15, 2009. The engineer has disobey the rule that has been set up by BEM without thinking the bad consequences.

5.0 “A Registered Engineer shall conduct himself honourably, responsibly, ethically and lawfully so as to enhance the honour, reputation and usefulness of the profession”

Responsible engineers involved should not remain silent while getting complaints about unusual vibration during abseiling session conducted.

Engineers who has knowledge on the structure supposedly should take immediate future action on the complained receive.

5.9 “A Registered Engineer shall not offer to make by way of commission or any other payment for the introduction of his professional employment. By that this case should not happen”

Another cause that may lead to the accident is bribery. They may not mention in the public, but there are engineer that has been charged due to its action giving approval to the document that supposedly not viable.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION Unethical problem will cause lots of problem to any kind of project or the person itself It is necessary for engineers to applied the ethical code and use the code of conduct as guideline Engineer must understand the dimension and impact of the profession, the need for ethics

WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED?
