DISCIPLINE DEPARTMENT

We ensure registrants and permit-holding companies follow the Code of Ethics as outlined in the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act and do not behave in a way detrimental to the best interests of the public. APEGA holds accountable registrants and permit-holding companies found guilty of unskilled practice or unprofessional conduct. Those under investigation with charges brought forward can proceed with either a recommended discipline order (RDO) or a hearing. An RDO is an agreed-to order between APEGA and the registrant or company under investigation. If an investigated registrant or company agrees to the findings and disciplinary actions in the RDO, a formal hearing is unnecessary.
