Case 7
Omar, a Professional Engineer (P. Eng.) with many years of experience and a valid
Certificate of Authorization, was hired by OQY to design a fire protection system for a
new building and supervise its installation. Omar produced the design and gave signed,
sealed and dated copies of the final design to Ali (P,Eng.) of Faultless to install. Faultless
is a contractor hired by OQY and Ali is their project manager. Once the installation was
complete, Omar provided the city with a sealed, signed and dated report affirming that
the fire protection system had been installed as designed and that it met all codes and
standards. Omar did not check the installation but had depended on the assurance of Ali
who said that it had been installed as designed. Omar had worked with Ali and Faultless
for many years and was very confident about their work. Three months later, the city
conducted a building review and found twenty deficiencies in the as-built work. They
issued a letter to Omar requesting that the construction be fixed to comply with the
design and standards. Omar forwarded the letter to Ali and asked her to make the
necessary changes. Ali made some modifications and informed Omar a few weeks later
that all the changes had been made. Omar then sent the city another sealed, signed and
dated report affirming that the fire protection system had been installed as designed and
that it met all codes and standards. A second building inspection by the city found that a
number of significant deficiencies still remained.
Note: the description suggests that there were no issues with the original design and
that the deficiencies were a result of the installation and not the design.
2. What is the moral dilemma?

5. What he should do?
