For several years, Dr Bain has been called on to deliver a guest lecture to UC mechanical engineering students about the health and safety responsibilities of engineers. Unfortunately, students and young engineers are too prone to see Health & Safety as something other than "proper" engineering, when in fact it is a critical competence.
This webinar is a distillation of that lecture. The webinar draws on Joe's experience as a consulting engineer and expert witness to highlight the enormous influence engineers have on health and safety outcomes for people, to tie these outcomes back to the Engineering New Zealand code of ethics, and to highlight just how critical H&S thinking is to sound engineering practice. The aim is to get attendees consciously present to the responsibilities they carry as members of the engineering profession.
Engineering students and emerging professionals need a solid grounding in health and safety. Unfortunately, while this is covered at university, students can often see H&S as not part of "proper" engineering. This webinar argues otherwise.
