What should you do in the event of things going wrong?
Who should take responsibility when things go wrong?
Professional judgement versus legal liability
Issues can arise from time to time during engineering projects. It is a
situation that every engineer could find themselves in. Engineers Australia
would like to invite members of the engineering and legal fraternities to
participate in a forum discussing project issues/risks and ways to minimise
their impacts.
Hear from keynote speakers as they describe first hand experiences in
dealing with issues that they have been faced with. Learn from the strategies
they have adopted to overcome issues and explore how these can be
principles can be applied elsewhere.
This is an excellent opportunity to hear from experienced professionals
speaking candidly about engineering and legal issues they have faced and
their results.
