About Engineers Canada Engineers Canada is the national organization of the provincial and territorial associations that regulate the practice of engineering in Canada and license the country's 295,000 members of the engineering profession. [...] Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and the protection of the environment and promote health and safety within the workplace. [...] Principle 1: Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and the protection of the environment and promote health and safety within the workplace. [...] If the conflict of interest is between the intent of a corporate employer and a regulatory standard, the registrant should attempt to reconcile the difference, and if that is unsuccessful, it may become necessary to inform the regulator for the sake of public safety. [...] Because of the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing impact of engineering work on the environment, registrants have an obligation to be mindful of the effect that their decisions will have on the environment and the well-being of society, and to report any concerns of this nature in the same manner as outlined in Principle 9.
