[ Safe and Sustainable ]

We in the engineering arena have several obligations to the community. The “community” will change depending on the nature of work being done. It could be the public, or our colleagues.

When undertaking work, we always need to make it as safe and sustainable as possible. Safe for the workers and the public, and sustainable for the future.

I’m finding these competency platitudes hard to rewrite into something meaningful. Of course we have to be safe and sustainable! The trick is to see that in our everyday tasks, and to apply it when we’re developing spreadsheets and replying to emails.
