Engineers work inside frameworks and constraints. Between their limits and the limitations of materials, technologies, regulations. Contained within the environment and the landscape, its functionality and its life expectancy, all for its use and the user.
They require training and certification.
Installers carry out the technical solutions provided by the engineers to create the designers vision and the engineers solutions. Teams made of individuals who are required to have the technical knowledge and practical experience of how to do it all efficiently and effectively.
They may or may not have had training, be accountable or experienced.
In the disability and mobility access world the products and systems being orchestrated by engineers and installed by workers is largely unregulated.
Being unregulated means that there is no requirement of training or certification to instruct workers on what to do or to teach them how to do it. This allows for the possibility of inconsistencies in design, sub standard workmanship or haphazard outcomes.
The end user, the person of which the work was engineered and conducted for, has a good chance of not being served.
Self regulation only serves the end user if the professionals designing and conducting the work care about the same things having a conscious understanding of why it matters.
They also need to know who it’s for. Why it’s for these people and how it benefits them. What would happen if their work fails or if they don’t speak up if they think somethings wrong.
The training of Engineers and Workers matters. But, the understanding and awareness of why it matters, matters more.
