The Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario brought disciplinary proceedings against a member and his engineering firm for submitting incorrect and altered calibration certificates for vibration monitoring units at two construction sites.
The member admitted to the allegations, acknowledging that the conduct amounted to negligence and unprofessional conduct under Regulation 941.
The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, finding it reasonable and consistent with prior cases.
The member and the firm were reprimanded, the member's licence was suspended for one month, and the findings were ordered to be published with names.
