You as a Graduate Engineer work in an engineering consulting firm. Your Superior directed you to sample the
contents of wastage drums located in the property of a client. From the look and smell of the drums, you believe
that analysis of the sample will show hazardous waste in the drums. You are aware that if the material contains
hazardous waste, there are legal requirements for the transport and disposal of the drums. You reported to your
Superior but were instructed to report only that samples have been taken, and not to conduct the analysis. Since
the client is a major under the firm, your Superior proposes to report to the client that the drums contain non
hazardous material that needs to be conventionally disposed due to the much more expensive disposal cost for
hazardous waste. Does your Superior fulfill an engineer's professional responsibilities and withholding detail
information to their client? What can you do in this situation?
