ABSTRACT

What is the Code of Professional Conduct for safety professionals? Is it a voluntary code or a mandatory code? How is it enforced? Who is the governing group who enforces the code? What qualifications must a safety professional possess? What educational level is required to be a safety professional? What certifications are required? Is ethical behavior required in the safety profession? These are just some of the questions that surround the safety profession and can often lead to issues and conflicts within and outside of the safety professional’s organization.
