At this joint evening event, we are proud to present two panels to represent different viewpoints related to finding enough skilled and knowledgeable personnel for available inspector and examiner roles:

IPEIA Members… this “impacts” you…
Globally the IMPACT study has provided data that has been used to keep government officials, regulators, industry and the general public informed about corrosion control management practices and the associated reduction of corrosion costs. The data has been instrumental in the development of public policy, standards, and corrosion management planning. This will translate in support for our teams, companies, industry and country in general.
This IMPACT Canada study is an extension of global IMPACT study.
