The Professonal Engineering Regulatory Coucil ACT 2022
The Professional Engineering Regulatory Council held one-day workshop on the PERC ACT 2022
π Dates: May 16th, 2024
π Venue: Bank of Sierra Leone Complex,Kingtom, Freetown.
The Professional Engineering Regulatory Council was a body empowered by an act of parliament of 1990 to regulate and control the practice of engineering in Sierra Leone.However, due to the civil war in the nineties, much was not done and starting 2009 it was resolved that the act needed amendment for effective regulation of engineering practice.This resulted in the ccurrent amended version with a change of name to Professional Engineering Regulatory Council to emphasise the regulatory aspect of its functions.
Since the revision of this Act, the regulation and registration process of professional engineers and institutions improved.However, challenges are still being experienced with respect to cooperation of stakeholders including some MDA'S of Government, Institutions, Companies/Firms, as well as individuals providing engineering services in Sierra Leone.
The purpose of this workshop is to engage stakeholders to generally explain why all Engineers and Engineering Establishments regionally and internationally must register with their professional regulatory bodies such as PERC in Sierra Leone. Additional regulations such as Code of Conduct which will be developed to effectively enforce the ACT together with penalties for breaches,are also presented.
