ECSAEngineering registration crucialfor the public’s safetyLike any other profession, practitioners in engineering also need to be registered- in this case with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), a statutorybody for the engineering profession. This serves as a true mark of approval for allpracticing engineers who want to be recognised by their peers and the public.ECSA’s primary role is to regulate the engineeringprofession in terms of the Engineering ProfessionAct. This includes the registration of competentengineering practitioners and governing their professionalconduct.“In addition, ECSA, as a statutory body, is able toinvestigate the conduct of a registered individual shouldan engineering project not pan out as planned. This makesregistration crucial for the public’s safety and socioeconomic development of this country”, says Mr CyrilGamede, President of ECSA.Each year the Engineering Council of South Africacontinues to advance the cause of promoting a high levelof standards and quality accreditation of engineers in theengineering profession.Mr Gamede says that ECSA has achieved severalmilestones in its quest to get more qualified engineeringpractitioners registered during the past six and a halfyears. ECSA’s total database of registered engineers is 40000, a significant growth from just over 27 000 five yearsago.Professional recognition instils a sense of confidence inthe mind of the public, namely that a practitioner meetsminimum levels of competence. Furthermore, the publicfeels assured that a person’s competence has beenassessed by other professionals in one’s field of expertise.This results in enhanced engineering capabilities for thecountry.40OCTOBER <strong>2012</strong>
