PPIR Protocol Workshop

Professional Performance, Innovation & Risk (PPIR) Protocol Developed by the Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering

The Professional Performance, Innovation and Risk Project (PPIR Project) was undertaken under the auspices of The Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering within the University of Sydney (The Warren Centre).  Engineers have well-defined standards for ethics and for competency. But what’s missing is a defined framework for performance, or how an engineer’s work is actually carried out and accomplished. So at the heart of the PPIR is a performance protocol to provide that framework.

This one day workshop provides engineering team members with an overview of the PPIR and how it can be applied to improve outcomes.

• The protocol and competency
• The protocol and risk management
• Innovation in engineering and the protocol

Course Outline

Course Outline

The course will cover the 8 core elements of the PPIR Protocol:

Relevant Parties and Other Stakeholders

• The Professional Engineer should develop a clear understanding of the Relevant Parties to and Other Stakeholders in the Engineering Task and the relationships between them.

The Engineering Task

• The Professional Engineer should consult and agree with the Responsible Person the objectives and extent of the Engineering Task.

Competence to Act

• The Professional Engineer should assess and apply the competencies and resources appropriate to the Engineering Task.

Statutory Requirements and Public Interest

• The Professional Engineer should identify and respond to relevant statutory requirements and public interest issues.

Risk Assessment and Management

• The Professional Engineer should develop and operate within a Hazard and Risk Framework appropriate to the Engineering Task.

Engineering Innovation

• The Professional Engineer should seek to use engineering innovation to enhance the outcomes of the Engineering Task.

Engineering Task Management

• The Professional Engineer should apply appropriate engineering task management protocols and related standards in carrying out and accomplishing the Engineering Task.

Contractual Framework

• The Professional Engineer should ensure that any contract or other such evidence of agreement governing or relevant to the Engineering Task is consistent with the provisions of this PPIR Protocol.
