Ethics in Drinking Water Operations

This course will introduce the importance of ethics in the drinking water profession. Often times we are all faced with the temptation to do something that we believe is harmless and will temporarily make our lives easier, but may be contrary to what we believe is “right.” By establishing a proper code of conduct, and training employees to follow that code, many of the temptations can be avoided. This course will explain what “ethics” entails, define how to create a code of conduct, describe the methods of applying the code to everyday workplace situations, and incorporate a group exercise for further illustration.
