Practice Reviews
We proactively review the engineering and geoscience practices of permit holders—approximately 4,700 companies licensed by APEGA—to confirm they’re meeting legislated regulatory responsibilities.
With enhanced data access and analysis to support our Graduated Risk Assessment of Permit Holders (GRAPH) evaluation process, we are able to conduct more practice reviews, more efficiently. As part of our Level 1 review process, we now screen all APEGA permit holders quarterly for compliance data, and we conduct desktop studies on permit holders. •We analyze our database for compliance with various indicators. •We also conduct reviews based on industry sector, organizational size, or other areas of interest.
Practice reviews 101 Practice reviews are an opportunity to collaboratively engage with permit holders, empowering them with knowledge and tools to strengthen their professional practice. The objective, for APEGA and permit holders alike, is safe and competent practice of the professions through regulatory excellence.
