What changed
The Florida Board of Professional Engineers found PE Regina R. Bobo-Jackson guilty of negligence in the practice of engineering for digitally signing and sealing materially deficient fire alarm design documents for a Sunny Isles Beach project. The Board imposed costs of $3,671.60, mandatory completion of an ethics course and the Board's Florida Laws and Rules Study Guide, and project reviews at six and 18 months for all fire alarm projects sealed by the licensee.
Florida-licensed professional engineers who sign and seal engineering design documents should ensure all work meets material standards before sealing, as the Board actively pursues cases of negligent practice under Section 471.033(1)(g), F.S. and Rule 61G15-19.001(4), F.A.C. Engineers handling fire alarm or life-safety designs should pay particular attention to design adequacy and should review internal QC procedures to ensure sealed documents are complete and technically sound.
