PGO INSURANCE PROGRAM

Professional Geoscientists Ontario (PGO) strives to provide value-added services and offers for its registrants.

Note: Group benefits may not always be the best price due to seasonal or limited-time promotions.

Some of the partner organizations may request proof of registration in good standing with PGO when redeeming the offers. In these situations, please use PGO's Public Register. You will be able to validate your status with the organization immediately as the register is updated in real-time.


SECONDARY PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE (SPLI)


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.
