COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The training contains good practices from various agencies. The topics of discussion in this training are: conflict of interest, safety, fraud, falsification of documentation, reporting ethical concerns, gifts and favors, fairness, personal use of agency property, and consequences.

Not all State agencies' codes of conduct are the same but they all demand similar ethical behavior of their employees. Be sure to access to your agency's codes or check with your supervisor for more information specific to your organization. Each State agency/company has its own work rules, which the viewer needs to review and follow.

This training is provided in partnership with the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) to provide good practices for ethical behavior of transportation employees. The training was prepared by State DOT personnel for State DOT personnel. This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians.
