Code of Ethics
The International Institute of
Risk and Safety Management's (IIRSM) Code of Ethics expresses
the principles that the Institute encourages its members to
adopt in the execution of their duties.
The Institute’s members should:
- only advise on,
or undertake tasks, as risk and safety professionals in
areas where they are competent and can practice in a prudent
and diligent manner;
- ensure that
their professional competence is maintained and developed to
meet the requirements of safety legislation and the demands
of best practice;
- seek
to avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest whenever
possible, and where such circumstances do arise, reveal the
fact to all those who might be affected;
- where relevant,
inform the appropriate authority of any illegal or unethical
risk or safety related behaviour;
- conduct
themselves with fairness when dealing with others and not
engage in acts of racial or other forms of discrimination
whatsoever;
- act as the
faithful agent of their clients or employers and accept
personal responsibility for all work carried out by them or
under their supervision;
- assist
colleagues and co-workers in their professional development
and support them in following this Code of Ethics;
- not knowingly bring
the Institute or their fellow members into disrepute.
