In the case that Quality Steel Inc. refuses the claim despite my recommendation to refund the purchase, I believe ‘whistleblowing’ and/or reporting this issue to Professional Engineers Ontario would be the appropriate action to take. This is because it is my (the practitioner) responsibility and duty to report the possible risks from the company refusing to follow my recommendations. It is my responsibility to ensure the safety and welfare of the public before that of myself, my clients or my employers. From the PEO Code of Ethics web page, it can be seen that, “Through the Code of Ethics, professional engineers have a clearly defined duty to society, which is to regard the duty to public welfare as paramount, above their duties to clients

Any employee who feels that he or she has been subjected to sexual harassment should immediately contact the Human Resources Department for investigation and corrective action. Protection from retaliation will be provided and confidentiality will be provided as much as reasonably possible. Any employee who witnesses someone engaging in what could be deemed as sexually harassing conduct is obligated to notify the Human Resources Department even if the victim says that they can handle it or that they can take care of it themselves. Sexual harassment is an illegal act and must be reported and investigated just like any other illegal activity.
At the end of the last century, accountants began to organize and become a profession as state societies and boards of accounting debuted. At that time a few companies began to issue financial statements; however, there were no established standards, codes of ethics, or generally accepted principles. Practitioners wishing to represent the economic reality of an entity had to rely on professional judgement. Over time, the profession evolved so that committiees emerged to address these issues, and practitioners voluntarily abided by their guidance.
We are a profession in our own, exactly what is meant by this statement? Our organization alone speaks for itself by the level of gratitude and respect received daily from others: our family, peers, and communities. We are our own family, full off comradery and loyalty, enough to give to any new basic trainee or welcome any new sister or brother in what I call a big fraternity. Not only do we share similar experiences but we all look alike…I mean dress alike. We have uniformity which allows either family member to judge upon the other because our outfits and shoes are similar, therefore we have no room to speak past others. Can our profession advance further in leadership roles? Remembering to teach and educate our fellow Soldiers, and also remain ethically professional.

According to Sheryl Hopkins, in 1991, corporate America began to develop codes of ethics and related ethics and compliance programs to comply with the newly enacted Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (FSGO). The FSGO had some requirements for businesses, one of the requirements were to have a “high level” person with overall responsibility for the program and an individual with day to day responsibility who periodically reports to high level management. (Hopkins). While Shannon Filing is the president and owner of the business she does not report to anyone in particular, but she said to me “While I don’t have anyone to report to, I have mentors
The American Red Cross is one of the most prominent and ever evolving organizations of our century. They’re a company that helps prevent and formulate drastic measures to small measures to relieve the suffering that people go through every day in the face of emergencies. They are as effective and efficient as the military as they can mobilize forces of volunteers and with willing to give from donors strengthen and power American Red Cross. They are the main and primary emergency preparedness and response organization. The ARC will and is always ready to bring gracious, protecting, and saving comfort to all humans that are face to face in disastrous situations and crises, from tsunamis to tornadoes to earth shaking quakes. Red Cross turns to volunteers to many of the members of the military to give and provide lifesaving blood for the need of survivors of disasters around the world, every time the clock ticks a second, and every day that the sun rises.
One can appreciate the level of confidentiality that the law affords individuals who seek help for addiction. Indeed, one should be free to accept therapy or rehabilitation without fear of repercussions. Surely one can appreciate the delicate situation that clients may find themselves in if their employer or school learned of their struggle with addiction. While we, as counselors, appreciate the bravery and fortitude it takes to ask for help with dependency, discrimination still exists. Therefore, the Code of Federal Regulations, (CFR) in addition to the NAADAC code of ethics, provide a useful framework not only for client's but counselors as well. Additionally, whether or not the rehabilitation program is state funded (nonprofit), or private (for profit) also determines the confidentiality regulations,

The Code of Ethics for the Health Information Management team is a very serious topic that should never be taken lightly. If your staff is not trained properly according to the code and, or if your staff is trained properly, but not adhering to the code…then your team could face some serious repercussions in the not so distant future. Yes we’ve all heard the saying that, some rules are meant to be broken, but be forewarned…these are not the rules you want to play with. The code includes principles and guidelines that are pretty straightforward and the HIM Staff should have no issues in heading in the right direction with these policies; however, if they don’t follow through these policies are enforceable.

The code of ethics and conduct is a written set of rules and regulations that provides guidance to employees of an organization on how to conduct themselves and carry out their duties in line with the organization’s principles. The code of ethics and conduct is also be backed up by suitable disciplinary actions.
