Regulation in Practice.๐ท๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
What does this mean for the engineering profession?
The Identification of Engineering Work Rules form part of South Africaโs regulatory framework for engineering and are designed to support public safety, professional accountability and competent engineering practice.
The Rules reinforce an important principle: engineering work should be undertaken by appropriately qualified, experienced and professionally registered practitioners who can demonstrate the competence and judgement required for the work.
They also contribute to strengthening professionalism across the sector and protecting the public, the environment and our engineering infrastructure.
Whether youโre an engineering practitioner, employer or part of the broader engineering community, knowing the Rules matters.
๐๐ฝ Know the Rules, Protect the Profession.
