It is not anyone's duty. You're not obligated by law to do it.
In military, your duty is to obey orders of superior. If you break that, you will get removed.
In business, your duty is to yourself and to business (shareholders) or to superiors. See above. You will get fired or forced to quit.
As a counterexample, medical practitioners have a duty to intervene when it's not endangering their lives, in medical emergencies. (At least in Poland, probably other countries too.)
Do not conflate duty with moral choice or moral obligation. Former is external, later is internal.
