Recently I started working on a job with an established foreman with the company I work for. I pointed out some code violations that were about to transpire, thanks to a rash of change orders and already questionably designed prints.
The foreman sought my opinion, and then once I gave it, we discussed the issue. Ultimately, he ordered the code violations to be installed, and I guess he decided they were not serious enough to warrant serious attention. The inspector showed up after lunchtime one day, and appeared to me to be either high or drunk, but I didn't smell anything on him. The foreman said he was just goofy.
At any rate, the incompetent inspector did not notice the code violations, and the inspection passed. It was not my job, so I did not speak up. Should I have pointed out to the inspector the violation? Should I have lobbied the foreman more? Gone to his boss? What would you do, or have you done in the past?
