Practice Guidelines

Practice guidelines are intended to establish guidance that APs should follow to fulfill their professional obligation to CSAP Society, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV), as well as to the public and the environment. The guidelines specify tasks and identify general standards of professional practice that APs should follow when conducting CSAP work. The guidelines also serve as a basis for performance assessments for CSAP work under the bylaws of CSAP Society.
