If a professional engineer signs and seals documents that weren't prepared by themselves or
their subordinates, what are the possible consequences under the Association's Code of Ethis
and/or Definition of Professional Misconduct? - answer✔Sealing documents not prepared or
checked by the P. Eng holder is ground for professional misconduct (PM, section e). If an
engineer seals the work, they are taking responsibility for the adequacy of the work and must
ensure it has been appropriately checked.
What are the three criteria applicants must satisfy to be eligible for the "Consulting
Engineering" designation in Ontario - answer✔1. Must be a PEO member
2. Must possess a certificate of authorization
3. Must have a minimum of 5 years experience beyond the 4 years to license. 2 of these 5 years
must be primarily engaged in independent practice.
Define: "Ethics" - answer✔Ethics is a branch of philosophy which studies right and wrong, good
and evil, obligations and rights. The Code of Ethics for licensed engineers in Ontario describes
the high standard of professionalism to which members are expected to adhere.
An engineer (Ed) with a P. Eng is hired as a contractor to work in a power plant as an expert
advisor. The client (Ben) also holds a P. Eng, and is responsible for supervising all construction
labour. Ed notices that the plant has no safety procedures in place.
Does Ed, who was hired only to provide technical advise about the construction of the plant,
have any obligation in respect to the possible danger that the crew faces? Provide reasoning. -
answer✔Yes, Ed has an obligation to the possible danger. Engineers must regard their duty to
the public's welfare as paramount (Ethics section 21). If Ed did not act, he would face
professional misconduct for failure to act or correct a situation that may endanger public safety
(PM Section c).

Professional Misconduct (PM, section b). Ben hasn't provided reasonable provisions for the
safeguarding of life and health of those affected by the work. Safety measures are often under
a government regulation, so Ben likely also failed to make responsible provision for complying
with applicable regulations (PM, section d).
