The Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) has suspended an engineer who supervised the construction of the collapsed George building to prevent any danger to public health and safety. The suspension will remain in place until any accusations against the individual are resolved. ECSA has set strict requirements for the projects involved, including the provision of draft design and asbuilt drawings, an independent engineer’s report, and a registered individual with ten years of experience and no previous involvement in the project. ECSA’s swift action showcases their dedication to public safety and professional responsibility.
