Protecting the Public
As a self-regulating professional association, ASET ensures public safety with a responsibility to guarantee the qualifications of those holding ASET titles and protect against title misuse, and the ability to exercise disciplinary and legal action to ensure competence of ASET members.
An ASET designation shows a member has met strict national criteria for certification in their field. Under the Engineering and Geosciences Professions Act, ASET members are also accountable for public safety under the law.
If you have a concern about the conduct, behaviour or practice of an ASET member, please do not hesitate to contact the Registrar.
