What stays with you: sign-off, stamps and safety calls

Module 3: The judgment calls and your portfolio piece

Course outline

Quick check

Guess first, no penalty. AI drafts a calculation note for a made-up pump base. Who checks it and takes responsibility for it?

Some sign-offs never leave your hands

AI can draft, tidy and suggest. It can't stamp a drawing, sign a calculation, accept risk for a client or make a safety call. Those belong to the named person who is responsible for the work.

These stay with a person:

  • Stamps and signatures on calculations and drawings.
  • Safety calls, such as whether a hazard is controlled well enough to work near.
  • Choosing the standard your project must follow.
  • The final figure that goes on site or into an order.

A worked example

Before and after

Switch between the AI draft and the line you sign.

AI draft

Calculations checked. Base design adequate for the pump.

The line you sign names the check, the standard and the person. The AI draft claims a check that nobody did.

Your turn

Fill each gap in the sign-off line.
