So what's going on with the 'repeal of the industrial exemption'?

11/5/2013

In simple terms, Employers used to be able to get non-licensed engineers to do professional engineering work, as long as it was for their internal purposes (not directly to the public) and did not fall under one of the mandated requirements for a P.Eng.

This 'industrial exemption' was repealed under subsection 5(17) of Schedule 2 to the Open for Business Act, 2010 and section 12(3)(a) of the Professional Engineers Act (the “industrial exception”). The intent was to ensure that professional engineers will become more involved in everyday design, especially where health & safety is involved.

However, due to political pressure, the Ontario Government extended the date of implementation (originally to September 1, 2013 and then indefinitely).

It's unfortunate that the PEO wasn't able to force the issue. I personally don't think that engineers need to be involved in all aspects of quality and productivity, but when it comes to consumer or employee safety, companies should always be using P.Eng.'s.

I hope that organizations don't simply jump through hoops when the Act becomes enforceable. At the same time, all stakeholders need to respond to actual MEASURABLE engineering data.
