| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This document (1) provides guidelines of professional practice for a Professional Engineer and Professional Geoscientist who carries out a landslide analysis for a proposed residential development, and (2) provides guidance to the professional as to how to relate the results of the analysis to a level of landslide safety for residential development when required by provincial legislation. Appendix D to these guidelines provides a Landslide Assessment Assurance Statement that must be submitted, along with a landslide assessment report, to an Approving Authority. Land Owners and Development Consultants; Land Use Planners, Approving Officers and Building Inspectors; Municipalities, Regional Districts, and the Islands Trust6 ; the provincial government; and the general public frequently rely on such landslide assessments. These guidelines may also assist those parties. These guidelines address typical project organization and responsibilities of the various stakeholders; professional practices that should typically be provided; quality assurance/quality control; and professional registration and education, training and experience. |
