What is Secondary Professional Liability Insurance and why are Members covered?
The provincial and territorial engineering regulators are responsible for the regulation of the practice of engineering in Canada and for the licensure of engineers.
As licensed professionals, engineers individually and collectively commit to serve and protect the public. The responsibility of self-regulation also obliges the profession to ensure that only qualified persons practice engineering and that they do so with concern for societal and environmental needs, while at the same time being responsible to their clients, employers, colleagues and subordinates, and to themselves and the profession at large.
The SPLIP assists the engineering and geoscience licensing bodies in their mandate to uphold and protect the environment and the safety and interests of the public. It enhances self-regulation for both the engineering regulators and individual engineers, and enables engineers and geoscientists to seek advice in whistleblower situations.
All individual engineers and geoscientists in good standing with a participating provincial or territorial regulator are insured under this program. They are also covered as mentors, helping other less-experienced individuals develop specific skills and knowledge that will enhance professional and personal growth.
