SECONDARY PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE (SPLI)
Secondary Professional Liability Insurance, provided through Engineers Canada and available to PGO licensees, is a unique program that protects registrants in good standing. The program ensures that you, your profession and the public stay protected in numerous cases involving professional services, including:

• Whistleblowing: You "blow the whistle" on an employer due to illegal or unsafe practices and, as a result, face legal costs and/or professional repercussions.
• Incidental professional consulting services: You consult informally with someone in your community, including friends and neighbours, and they bring a claim against you.
• Worldwide: You are working in the United States and are found liable for work you've done.
• See the full list on the Engineers Canada website.
