CODE OF ETHICS

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Introduction
Mission Statement of CTTAM

T Safeg a d he P blic I e e b he Ce ifica i and Governance of our Professional Members in

the Application f Na i al S a da d f A lied Scie ce Tech l g .

Preamble

The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to give general statements of the principles of ethical conduct in
order that the members of CTTAM may fulfil their duty to the public, the profession, and their fellow
members.

The following Code of Ethics principles shall be construed as a general guide, and not as a denial of the
existence of other duties equally imperative and other rights though not specifically mentioned. The
members are bound by its provisions just as they are bound by the provisions of CTTAM by-laws and
regulations.

Members of CTTAM shall:

1. Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public, the protection of the environment
and the promotion of health and safety within the workplace.
2. Undertake and accept responsibility for professional assignments only when qualified by training
or experience.
3. Provide an opinion on a professional subject only when it is founded upon adequate knowledge
and honest conviction.
4. Act with integrity towards clients or employers, maintain confidentiality and avoid a conflict of
interest but, where such conflict arises, fully disclose the circumstances without delay to the
employer or client.
5. Uphold the principle of appropriate and adequate compensation for the performance of their
work.
6. Keep informed to maintain proficiency and competence, to advance the body of knowledge within
their discipline and further opportunities for the professional development of their associates.
7. Conduct themselves with fairness, courtesy and good faith towards clients, colleagues and
others, give credit where it is due and accept, as well as give, honest and fair professional
comment.
8. Present clearly to employers and clients the possible consequences if professional decisions or
judgements are overruled or disregarded.
9. Report to the appropriate agencies any hazardous, illegal or unethical professional decisions or
practices by fellow members or others.
10. Promote public knowledge and appreciation of applied science technology and protect the
association from misrepresentation and misunderstanding.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 1
Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public, the protection of the
environment and promote health and safety within the work place.
Amplification

(a) This principle must be considered the most significant in the Code of Ethics. Realistically, any
project undertaken involves some risk to safety, health and welfare and may have some impact
on the environment. To hold paramount is to emphasize the need to give diligent regard to this
principle and to rank it ahead of expediency or economic gain to either client or self.

(b) Members shall take appropriate action and notify proper authorities if in their professional
opinion, unacceptable hazards to the public, human welfare or the environment do exist.

(c) Members shall not complete, sign or seal plans or other documents that, in their professional
opinion would result in unacceptable hazards to the public, human welfare or the environment,
or do not conform to current standards. If the clients or employers insist on such conduct, and
members are unable to dissuade them, then the commentary regarding Principle 8 should be
followed.

Commentary

Members must be familiar with current safety codes, standards and other external regulations
pertaining to their discipline. They must understand their implications to the safety and welfare of
the public.

Members should maintain a responsible interest in both the immediate and long-term effects of the
application of practices that affect the public welfare and should be aware that the use of technology
may create situations that endanger the long-term safety and welfare of the public. If necessary,
members should advise corporate management accordingly.

Occasionally, the obligations that members have to their clients/employers and to the public may be
in conflict. While the members are obliged not to disclose confidential information, or to use such
information to the disadvantage of the clients/employers, failure to report a situation that members
believe may endanger the safety or welfare of the public would be contrary to this paramount
principle. There should be no doubt as to how members must act.

When members are retained as an expert in litigation cases, any information received or developed
in the case is bound by the general rules of litigation, including rules of privilege and disclosure.
Members face a dilemma when information they have poses an imminent danger to the public but
is bound by legal privilege.

Members must act out of a sense of duty, and although the member s ultimate responsibility is clear,
there is no universally applicable procedure to be used for discharging it. Responsible disclosure
must be conducted with the interest of the public in mind, and obviously requires that the members
put their names on the action and sometimes their occupations on the line.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 2

Undertake and accept responsibility for professional assignments only when

qualified by training and experience.

Amplification

(a) Members shall not sign, seal or take credit for plans, specifications, reports or parts thereof
unless actually prepared by them or prepared under their direct supervision. The seal and
members signature must only be applied to work after the responsible members is satisfied the
document or component for which he or she is professionally responsible is complete and
correct.

Commentary

Members shall offer services, advice or undertake professional assignments only in areas of their
competence by virtue of training and experience. This includes exercising care and communicating
clearly and accepting or interpreting assignments and in setting expected outcomes. It includes the
responsibility to obtain the services of a specialist or an expert if required or, if the technique is
uncertain, to proceed only with fullest disclosure of the experimental nature of the activity to all
parties involved. This requirement is more than simply duty to a standard of care, it involves honesty
i h clie , e l e , a d e elf.

In an age of rapidly expanding technologies, new concepts and theories, members cannot be
expected to be conversant with every new development of knowledge. Thus, members have
increased personal responsibility to employ the services of others who have expertise to supplement
their own capabilities. This responsibility is most important when adopting new processes like
computer software to ensure the programs are site-specific to the membe jec . (Al ee
Principle 6).

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 3

Provide an opinion on a professional subject only when it is founded upon

adequate knowledge and honest conviction.

Amplification

(a) Members shall clearly distinguish between facts, assumptions, and opinions in reference to
applied science technology in the preparation of reports, in conversation with clients and
colleagues, in statements to the media, in the publication of papers and articles, and in
discussion in a public forum.

(b) Members shall not make statements, criticisms, or arguments generated or paid for by private
interests on matters relating to public policy, unless they indicate on whose behalf the statements
are being made.

(c) Members shall ensure, to the best of their ability, that statements attributed to them properly
reflect their professional opinion.

(d) Members shall not misrepresent their qualifications to their clients or their employers.

(e) Members shall engage or provide advice on engaging, experts or specialists when, in their
judgement, such services are in the best interests of their client or employer.

Commentary

It is the responsibility of members to clearly and accurately express the results of their work and
avoid bias due to political, economic or other non-technical factors. When called upon, members
shall do their best to ensure that their professional opinions are accurately represented. When
presenting complex issues to a non-technical audience, in order to avoid misinterpretation, members
must simplify their discussions without losing the critical elements. Members shall separate their
personal views from their professional activities and be impartial and factual when expressing
professional opinions.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 4

Act with integrity towards clients or employers, maintain confidentiality and avoid
a conflict of interest, but where such conflict arises, fully disclose the
circumstances without delay to the employer or client.

Amplification

(a) Members shall act judiciously when administering a contract on behalf of their client or employer
and be realistic and honest in all estimates, reports and statements.

(b) Information gained in confidence during the course of assignments shall not be used for personal
gain, or divulged to either another client or new employer without the express permission of the
previous client or employer.

(c) Any conflict of interest concerning, for example, personal friends, close associates, or relatives
shall be revealed immediately to the client or employer. If, in spite of a conflict, members are
instructed to continue, the interests of the clients or employers shall be held paramount over the
e be i e e .

(d) Any outside activity shall be avoided if it will have an adverse affect upon their employe
business.

Commentary

The interpretation of agreements and contract documents must be undertaken with fairness and
impartiality, and if members become aware of errors or omissions in their services, they should
report immediately to their superiors and work to rectify these problems.

Any information received of a confidential nature during the performing of their professional service
shall be deemed the exclusive property of its owner and shall not be disclosed to others or used by
the member except with the owne ecific a al.

When members use designs supplied by clients, the designs remain the property of the clients and
should not be duplicated by members for others without express permission from the first client.

Technical knowledge of a non-confidential nature gained by the member through exposure to the
ke i e i a f a e be e e ie ce a d a be ed i b e e jec ih
further consent.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 4 (Con d.)

Members should be careful in their businesses that potential conflicts of interest within their control
be avoided, for example, a member employed by a municipality should not have an interest in a land
developer operating in that municipality.

Precise rules in conflict of interest are not possible and members must use their conscience and
sense of honour for guidance.

In any inquiry to adjudicate an alleged conflict of interest, the total circumstances surrounding the
conflict must be investigated.

Principle 5

Members shall uphold the principle of appropriate and adequate compensation

for the performance of their work.

Amplification

(a) Members should ensure that compensation is fair and appropriate for the services rendered, but
are expected to put service above financial gain, quality above quantity and acknowledge a code
of honour within a competitive spirit.

(b) Members should not undertake a contract for anything other than a firm price, and be cautious
of contracts containing contingency fee clauses.

(c) Members should not submit any proposal to secure an engagement or assignment with a firm
price or estimated cost lower than the realistic expected full estimated cost of the proposed
engagement.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 5 (Con d.)

Commentary

Member fees shall be determined by the scope of work and level of service required. Cutting fees
to the extent that would result in the rendering of an incompetent or dangerous service is unethical.

Contingency fee arrangements may cloud the judgement of the member dependent on the size of
the fee, for example, zero in the case of an unsatisfactory conclusion or disproportionately high in
other situations.

recommended, particularly where the services might have an effect on the feasibility of future work.
P e ial clie h ld be ade a a e if a l leade e f e ice i ffe ed, ge he i h he
future work expectation.

Principle 6

Keep informed to maintain proficiency and competence, to advance the body or

knowledge within their discipline and further opportunities for the professional
development of their associates.

Amplification

(a) Members must ensure that both their proficiency and competence are maintained throughout
their careers by remaining abreast of developments and knowledge in their area of expertise.
This requires a personal commitment to ongoing professional development and continuing
education.

(b) In addition to maintaining both their own proficiency and competence, members shall endeavour
to contribute to the advancement of the body of knowledge within their areas of expertise.

(c) Members have a special obligation to demonstrate understanding, professionalism and technical
expertise to members under their supervision.

(d) Within the framework of the practice of their profession, members are expected to participate in
providing opportunities to further the professional development of their subordinates and
colleagues.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 6 (Con d.)

Commentary

Should there be a technologically driven or individually motivated shift in the area of technical activity,
i i a e be d a ai a d ai ai c e e ce i all a ea f i l e e .

Members are free to tackle new challenges and learn new skills through their work as long as
successful completion of the assignment is not jeopardized, and honesty is maintained with the client
or employer.

Where members render services based on computer programs, they shall do so only after taking
steps to thoroughly understand the program, its underlying assumptions and its limitations.

Members should actively participate in technical and professional development seminars, continuing
education programs and the presentation of papers at professional meetings. They should
contribute to the dialogue fostered by their professional journals and support instructional activities
in their area of involvement.

Duties assigned to non-certified members should make use of their training and experience and give
them maximum exposure to the knowledge of experienced members, which would include informal
discussions with senior members on ethical dilemmas, individual employment interests and
professional growth to maintain an up-to-date and competitive capability to serve employers, clients
and the public.

Non-certified members should be assisted in their advancement through teaching and thoughtful
supervision, and encouraged to become registered when they demonstrate adequate qualifications.

Commentary (a, b, c)

Unless convinced that responsibility to the community demands it, members will not express
professional opinions which reflect on the ability or integrity of another person or organization.

Contacting a member whose work is to be reviewed not only is a professional courtesy but also
provides the opportunity for the exchange in pertinent information which would assist in the review.
If the results of such a review demonstrate safety or environmental concerns, it is mandatory that
the member responsible for the work be contacted again to review these concerns in order to provide
him or her with an opportunity to comment prior to further action (see also Principle 9).

If a client requests a review of the work of a member and further stipulates that this member not be
contacted, the client should be advised that these instructions are contrary to the spirit and intent of
the Code of Ethics.

Members are entitled to review and evaluate the work of other members when required by their
employment duties and when the experience and knowledge is appropriate. For an adequate
review, it may be important to be aware of the nature and conditions attached to the assignment
handled by the first member. Open communication should exist between the two members so that
underlying assumptions are understood by the reviewing member, and so that the first member has
an opportunity to respond to any comments or criticisms.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 7 (Con d.)

If a document is simply being read for information, it is not being evaluated. The essence of
evaluating is that the document be read in a critical manner and that the statements are confirmed
or rejected by the reader. This process of criticism is not limited to the obvious formal full techniques
of analysis and calculation; it can be quite informal and based simply upon experience.

Commentary (d)

Members, when accepting assignments, should ensure this subject is introduced in pre-contract
discussions. They should not continue to seek employment on a specific engagement after being
advised that another member has been selected.

Commentary (e)

Members should not engage in outside technological work to an extent prejudicial to their salaried
position.

Members should not use the influence of a salaried position to direct clients to an office in which
they have a financial interest.

Members should not use equipment, supplies, laboratory or office facilities of their employer to carry
on outside ac ice i h he e l e c e .

Principle 8

Present clearly to employers and clients the possible consequences if

professional decisions or judgements are overruled or disregarded.

Amplification

(a) This principle needs no further amplification.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 8 (Con d.)
Commentary

Members may occasionally find themselves in a situation where their recommendation is being
questioned by their employer, client, or another expert.

Communication should be established both in writing and by personal contact, particularly for
contentious issue, to ensure that the information and assumptions are laid out simply and lucidly.
When disagreement exists between two members, and the senior member chooses to overrule the
he e be ec e dation, the senior member consciously takes responsibility.

Note that members have continuing obligations, even through their recommendations may be
overruled (see Principle 9).

Another element of difficulty is introduced when members find their recommendations being
questioned by a non-member. The non-member may not have the technical expertise to appreciate
both the rationale of the recommendation and the potential consequences of failure to accept the
recommendation. Bearing in mind that the member remains the last line of defense for the public
welfare, he or she must make all reasonable efforts to ensure that an appropriate decision is made.

When a situation arises wherein a client or employer makes a decision that adversely affects the
public interest, and is contrary to the recommendation of the member, the member must inform the
client or employer of the consequences of the decision. If the client or employer is unresponsive,
the member should notify the appropriate regulatory authorities who have the ability to evaluate the
concerns and the power to suspend activities until the technical issue is resolved.

Principle 9

Report to the appropriate agencies any hazardous, illegal or unethical

professional decisions or practices by fellow members, or others.

Amplification

(a) Members must immediately report hazardous, illegal or unethical conduct of which they become
aware and take all required corrective measures. This principle is not limited to the work place.

Commentary

Through informal contact, normal working relationships, or special circumstances such as design
reviews, one member may develop the opinion that the work of another member is deficient. The
inadequacies may arise from unskilled practice and/or unprofessional conduct.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 9 (Con d.)

If the immediate physical safety of the public is in jeopardy, speedy notification of the owner, operator
or appropriate regulatory authorities is the immediate duty of the member. Prompt notification is
necessary to prevent potential harm to the public through the continuation of unacceptable practices.
Members have a responsibility to be aware of hazards to society created by their profession, and
also have a responsibility to report unethical practice so it may be dealt with through the disciplinary
process.

Some hazards are slow to develop, yet are of potentially great danger, such as chemical waste
disposal. Such actions should be reviewed with the same concern for maximum public protection
and minimum environmental impact.

Ignoring unprofessional practices, either for expediency or sympathy, that may indirectly endanger
the public and certainly circumvent the responsibility of self-regulation that has been granted to the
Association. Intentionally refraining from reporting substantive breaches of the Code of Ethics on
the part of another member therefore constitutes unprofessional conduct.

Principle 10

Promote public knowledge and appreciation of applied science technology and

protect the association from misrepresentation and misunderstanding.

Amplification

(a) The principle is self-explanatory and no amplification is needed.

many sources. These perceptions are, in turn, biased both by the context in which they are
encountered and by the past experience of the observers. Typical sources of these impressions
include students of technology, the media, friends, relatives and teachers, some of whom may be
members, and so on.

Members of the Association are role models and must be aware of it. What they do and say and the
manner in which they communicate is observed, absorbed, and reported by others including
children, non-member associates and friends. It is apparent, therefore, that what the public
understands about members and their work depends upon members actions and what they
understand themselves to be.

The Certified Technicians & Technologists Association of Manitoba

Principle 10 (Con d.)

A positive image of the Association, its members and its technologies can be promoted in many
ways including conscientious work, a caring attitude towards others, particularly students, and active
participation in educational programs such as high school career days and science fairs.

Members should be prepared to defend the Association in the light of unfair and defamatory
comments. They must, however, beware of the danger of compounding a problem with an
inadequate or incorrect rebuttal. Guesswork must be avoided and correct facts obtained. If
necessary, a source which has the facts and can follow up on the matter properly should be sought.
The staff at the Association office can help in this regard.

Helping the public to become better informed and drawing its attention to our good works will
promote and enhance our image.
