Ethics- Definitions
Ethics:
also known as moral philosophy/ rules of conduct
a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about
morality i.e. concepts such as good and evil, right and
wrong, virtue and vice, justice and injustice, etc.
Doing what is RIGHT (according to prevalent set of moral codes)
and not necessarily what is BEST (which is your opinion - likely to be clouded!)
Ethics is also a measure of concern for others & for the
common good, as against the selfish motive

Professions
Professions :
"occupations that both require advanced study and mastery of a
specialised body of knowledge, and
undertake to promote, ensure or safeguard some matter that
significantly affects others well-being.
Are usually bound by a set of principles, attitudes or types of
character dispositions that control the way the profession is
practiced. This has been termed as Professional Ethics
In general, professional ethics always include upholding honesty
and respect in the profession over personal needs, conflicts or
biases.

Professionalism
Core of professionalism: the possession and autonomous
control of a body of specialised knowledge, which when
combined with honorific status, confers power upon its holders.
Denotes efficiency, knowledgeability, thorough familiarity with
work practices, great skill & ability,
Professionalism is about individual modes of behaviour that
command respect and build trust.
The high standard that you expect from a person who is well
trained in a particular job
7
Professionalism (Contd)
A focused approach
Having pride in what one is doing
Being confident; competent
Goes with Accountability & Responsibility
Respect for people irrespective of rank, status and gender;
Commitment to word and deed basing business related interactions to facts, figures and purely on the logic and understanding of the situation at hand.
Not getting carried away by the passion of the moment.

Professional Responsibility
Professional responsibility :: obligation of a Professional ( a
Consultant, an Auditor,) to perform his duties in a
fitting manner.
This includes a professional and legal approach to the
duties + the moral aspect of the profession (which is not
always specified by the law);
ex. Giving the most economical design by a consultant and
not only a safe design.
One key issue is conflict of interest."
This creates a predetermined bias for or against one of the
clients, which the main client is usually unaware of.

Business Ethics
It is often thought that business and ethics should not be mixed! Indeed,
"business ethics could be an oxymoron!!
Ethical business practices: actions and attitudes held by a business and its
employees that are considered professionally and morally responsible
patterns of behaviour.
A business should not do anything to make money and get ahead; many
companies are successful while still acting in a way that is ethical &
serving the common good as well as the corporate good.
Good Practices are best implemented & established as a top down
program.
Right of Conscientious Refusal: right of an employee to refuse to
partake in unethical conduct when forced to do so by an employer. This
may occur in work or non-work situations and may not necessary
involve breaking the law
12

Corporate Ethics
Corporate Ethics: codes of conduct followed by a corporate in the course of doing its business & outside it towards the Society at large
To ensure that business incentives do not conflict with morality and responsibility to stakeholders. Stakeholders: shareholders, fellow employees, anyone affected by the companys practices & the environment.
The code usually has a mission statement that sets out the overarching goals and beliefs, & set of guidelines on acceptable and unacceptable workplace behaviour and proper procedure and management.
How much the code is enforced depends on the management, and often on the transparency and oversight of company dealings.
13
Role of the Organisation
Often cause of ethical failure in an organisation can be traced to its organisational culture & failure on the part of the leadership to actively promote ethical practices
Personal Ethics are a reflection of beliefs, values, personality and background, but often propensity of a person towards ethical conduct is strongly influenced by value systems of the employing organisation. This often results in ones personal sense of what is right and wrong becoming buried amongst an organisations non-observance of professional ethics.
Unethical conduct may not eventuate from a persons upbringing, but rather is part of the process of learning practical business or being inducted into the practice

Some Basic Issues
Conflict of Interests
Gift vs Bribery
Clarity of Perceptions
15
Conflict of Interest
Professionals are expected to uphold professional ethics by not getting involved in any type of conflict of interest.
A conflict of interest situation may occur when an individual tries to accomplish personal goals as a result of being in a certain profession.
An interest which, if pursued, could keep professionals from meeting one of their obligations
For example, a Consultant giving advice to the owner and the contractor for the same project (with or without the knowledge of each other)!
Ex. Gifts and bribes, interests in other companies, insider information.
Unchecked conflicts of interest may also lead to serious problems! Ex. Meryl Lynch,

Gift Vs Bribery
Following two actions have to be satisfied to transform
gift giving to the illegal practice of bribery:
1. The person receiving the gift may, consciously or otherwise,
be disposed, predictably, to favour the interests of the gift giver
2. The gift must be of a non-token nature that it is reasonable to
think that it may put the interests of the giver in a privileged
status even when all else is equal.
Consequently, some corporations have allowed gift giving
to their clients or potential clients only as long as these
two conditions do not apply.
17
What is the Right Thing to do?
Warren Buffet once devised a creative solution:
Assess all future business judgments using this rule:
If your business decisions and motives were
published on the front page of a large circulation
newspaper the day after you make your decision, and
you will still feel comfortable, then do it.

Engineering Ethics
Developing the best possible design for the given specs & the committed framework
Give the best possible quality for product/ services for the given specs & the committed framework
Not overdesigning just because you are consultant to Owner, not dumping materials in a cost plus contract
Design with user-orientation, for the environment, safety, sustainability
Design with client benefit in mind, not to promote your own CV or sense of self-importance!
Respect Intellectual Property Rights
Bring out the potentialities for failure, if any.
Check your work/ get it checked.

Construction & Ethics
An Opinion Poll indicates that various forms of unethical
conducts have significant impact on construction quality
Only when professional ethics are well practiced,
professionalism will be enhanced and thus eliminating the
quality-related problems directly.
People working in the construction industry are twice as
likely to sustain a major injury and five times more likely to
be killed, than the average for all industries.
Hence ethical conduct is key element in construction
contracting
29
Construction & Ethics (Contd.)
One such study analyzed the probable effect of
corruption on the death tolls from earthquakes,
particularly those resulting from the collapse of buildings.
It says that poor building practices can turn even
moderate earthquakes into major disasters.
It says that 83% of all deaths from building collapses in
earthquakes over the past 30 years occurred in countries
perceived to have abnormally high levels of corruption!

Some Construction Ethics breaches
Fraud in Government Contracts
Defective Pricing
Antitrust Violations: Collusive Bidding and Price Fixing,
cartels
Cost Mischarging

Architects & Ethics
Architects are generally rated high in Ethics
In contrast with architects, however,
construction contractors have a reputation for
unethical behaviour
The main problem being, according to a poll ,
the high level of disputes between owners and
builders
33
Architect/ Designer/ Consultant &
Non-Ethics
Tweaking experience list, CVs
Offering one particular candidate in the bid for the work but actually providing another
Concealing of construction errors
Stealing someone elses drawings/ designs
Exaggerating experience and academic achievements in resumes and applications
Charging clients for work not done, costs not incurred or overstated (manhour-based billing)
Misleading clients in project management
Involvement in conflict of interest
Consultants and builder discussing client details
Improper information flow, internally and externally, within a practice
34

10/1/2013
18
Contractor & Non-Ethics
Frequently identified as the main source of all corruption!
Collusive tendering
Colluding with Clients officers to make money (undue
claims, overpayment, inflating quantities, passing off poor
quality/ safety, etc) Rampant misdemeanors in public
works
Will calling him a Constructor instead of Contractor
(Tekedar) help to get more respect/ responsibility?!!
35
Contractor (Contd.)
Collusive Tendering:
illegal agreements between tenderers that result in seemingly competitive bids
price fixing (quoting high thro a cartel)
schemes that circumvent spirit of free competition and defraud clients
cover pricing (quoting high price to lose tender)
hidden fees ( the small print)
compensation for unsuccessful tenderers (for support bids)
withdrawal where a tenderer withdraws his bid after consultation with other tenderers.
Bid cutting : (negotiating down S/Cs by M/Cs)
36
-
10/1/2013
19
The Client & Non-Ethics Coercing contractors for kick-backs
Turning a blind-eye to poor performance by agencies
Confidentiality and propriety information infringements
Using Architects drawings to complete projects with other parties
Revealing tendering/ product information
Not being transparent w.r.t difficult conditions ex. Cavern project
Bid shopping: divulging solicited bids as leverage to encourage contractors to lower their prices; showing L1 quote to others to get lower price
Reverse auction: (asking bidders to openly keep quoting against others to get the lowest price often in blind e-auction) also considered to be unethical, as it is more or less another form of bid shopping.

Procurement is often the basic cause!
Selecting knowledge-based services on price basis
Encouraging cut-throat competition among consultants
Selecting contractors by reverse auction

Babylons Building Code!
Hammurabis Code:
If a builder has built a house for a man and has not made his work sound, and the house which he has built has
fallen down and so caused the death of the house-holder, the
builder should be put to death

Environmental breaches
Bad practices:
Contamination of the soil
Degradation of vegetation
Soil erosion
Inadequate perimeter fencing on construction sites
Careless execution of demolition and construction
Storage of construction waste products offsite
Inadequate protection for public from debris
Issues:
Did Client/ Consultant specify proper measures in tender?
Did Client procure proper land for debris disposal?
Is the Contractor following bad practices?
43
Negligence
Negligence: failure to exercise that degree of care which, in
the circumstances, the law requires for the protection of
those interests of other persons which may be injuriously
affected by the want of such care.
The main sources are design negligence, design defect,
production defect, construction defect or a combination of
these factors
Negligence is major cause of many accidents
Is Negligence an Unethical Practice?

Primary Causes of Engineering
Disasters
The primary causes of engineering disasters are usually considered to be
human factors (including both 'ethical' failure and accidents)
design flaws (many of which are also the result of unethical practices)
materials failures
extreme conditions or environments, and, most commonly and importantly
combinations of these reasons

800 cases of structural failure -- 504 people killed, 592 people
injured, millions of dollars of damage.

State-of-the-Art not being good
enough!
Sometimes the existing knowledge levels themselves are
low; many intricacies had not yet been explored &
understood
Whose responsibility is it when something engineered as
state-of-the-art fails?

Negligence in Construction the Safety Aspect
Hardly any concern for safety in any field! ---- Construction, Traffic, Diwali crackers!! Preventable Accidents, if not prevented due to our negligence, are nothing short of murder - Dr S.Radhakrishnan Safety in Construction has to be Designed and is not merely wearing a helmet! Forensic Engg is now a solution to fix the root causes!
Moot Questions!!

Is there any awareness of Quality and Safety at all ??!!
Does anyone care?

Responsibility Dilemmas!
Who is responsible for encouraging lapses in Ethical practices -
Client/ Consultant/ Contractor?? (Chicken & egg analogy?!)
Client: expressed/ veiled/ passive expectations, lack of
competence, poor specifications
Contractor: too much competition, pressure on margins, client
inducements, pressure of time, difficulties in job, unexpected
problems in project
Consultant: too much competition, lack of competence, pressure
of time
Circumstances/ national culture/ apathy??!

Ethics ----the Professional
A person who will not propagate incorrect information/
knowledge
A person who will not steal someone elses work
A person who will practice what he preaches
A person who will not cheat in tenders (cartels,
bribing), in quality (poor materials, poor workmanship),
in claims (falsified documentation,), industrial espionage
A person who will not pass off a substandard design or
product or workmanship;
Does not overprice services/ goods taking advantage of a
situation (black marketing, hoarding, opportunity pricing)
Subscribes to Engineering Registration 77
Ethical working a practical guide
Check out if a set of Ethical Codes is available for ethical
practices in your chosen profession as set forth by an
independent body
Follow your organization's spelt-out set of business ethics if
available and if strictly followed
If neither is available, set up your own code of ethics to suit
the various contexts

Carl Houston was a welding supervisor for a nuclear power facility in Virginia (1970) for Stone & Weber
He saw
Improper welding procedures
Use of wrong materials
Welders were not trained properly
The situation was dangerous
He reported to Stone & Webers Manager, who ignored him. He threatened to write to Stone & Webers Headquarters. Shortly thereafter he was fired on trumpedup charges.
Finally he wrote to Senators Howard's Baker and Albert Gore. The Senators prompted the Atomic Energy Commission to investigate, which confirmed his allegations.
An Example of personal ethics Whistle blowing

Personal Work Ethics! (recommended)
Constant quest for Perfection any less is not your best!
Sincerity/ commitment is your best in what you do
Search for a better solution, the Best possible!
Study, Learn, Discuss, Explore, Try out alternatives till
you get the best solution INNOVATE!
Not compromising even if it involves more work from
yourself, tirade from the top! (not to be confused with
being a workaholic!)
To say I dont know when in ignorance, instead of
putting out a defective design/ product./ work
Taking responsibility and not finding scapegoats

Structural Engineer Bill LeMessurier faced a big design
problem when he worked on the Citicorp Centre, N.Y then the fifth highest skyscraper in New York.
The 900 feet bank would rise from 9-storey (114) high columns. The columns are positioned as follows: one at the
center and the other at the CENTER OF EACH SIDE OF THE
TOWER and not at the CORNERS OF THE TOWERS (as is
usual)
This was because of a corner of the plot belonged to a
church and the church had to be accommodated there.
The building was completed in 1977. An engineering
student questioned: what will happen when the wind loading
is oblique?

Calculations should show that in Case (c) the
resultant force is 40% larger.
While LeMessurier designed welded joints, the
contractor, Bethlehem Steel changed them to bolted joints.
Recalculation was not done to check what the construction
change would do.
Wind Tunnel Tests proved that the diagonal wind
loading (with a return period of 16 years) can lead to the
failure of the critical bolted joints and therefore the building.

LeMessurier was deeply troubled. He considered his options
Silence
Suicide
Then he told himself:
I have information that nobody else in the world had. I have power to effect extraordinary events that only I
could initiate.
He explained the problem to his client Citicorp.
The building was strengthened by welding two-inch
thick steel plates over each of the 200 bolted joints. With only
welding half the number of bolts hurricane Ella was
threatening to strike the building. Luckily Ellas direction changed.
85
Despite the fact that nothing happened as the result of the
engineering gaffe, the crisis was kept hidden from the public
for almost 20 years.
LeMessurier was criticized for
Insufficient oversight leading to bolted rather than
welded joints.
For misleading the public about the extent of the danger
during the reinforcement process
For keeping the engineering insights from his peers for
decades.
However his act of alerting Citicorp to the problem
inherent in his own design is now used as an example of
ethical behavior in several engineering textbooks.

Conclusion - the IIT Way?!!
88
Ethics is taking the high (and possibly, lonely) ground! Construction has many potentialities for Unethical acts and a lot of care has to be exercised by all the players to avoid
them.
Developing a strong sense of Personal Ethics could help! IITMs GN 5001 Course on Self Awareness could help towards this!
How would you like to project the IIT Brand? as having an Ethical Value?
In your Workplace? In your Professional Circles? In the Society? In your Personal Life? To your own inner Self??
It is your call !!
