In 1907 a bridge was being built across the St. Lawrence just above Quebec City. During construction, the bridge collapsed, killing nearly 80 workers. Leading up to the collapse there had been many indicators of a potential disaster: the design engineers were not able to be at the construction site on a regular basis; the structure was starting to fatigue under the sheer weight; and changes to design had been implemented without proper design testing. Recommendations to halt further construction until testing could be done were made but were not followed. It was also found during the post-accident investigation that the lead engineer did not have the technical competency to control the work. Which of the following actions would have been the most likely to prevent this disaster?
