Course Overview
No one would publicly dispute the importance of ethical behavior. Ethical behavior is even more important in nondestructive testing because the entire NDT industry makes only one kind of product: promises. Everyone in NDT promises that they properly performed the testing and truthfully reported the results. Anything which strengthens that promise—in the eyes of practitioners, managers, customers, and the general public—is a good thing.
So it’s worth our time to look at where our ethical standards in NDT come from, what happens when they are breached, and ways to make those standards easier to keep.
Upon Completion, Learners Will Have Covered:
- Some of the origins of our ethical standards in NDT.
- How those standards are described within ASNT
- How those standards are applied, including a few personal examples
- Some practical techniques for making ethical behavior easier for us, as NDT professionals, and the technicians with whom we work and for whom we're responsible
