How to Sleep at Night: Ethical Behavior in NDT
Thursday, 18 November 2021 | 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Any NDT practitioner or manager can benefit from a discussion on ethics. NDT is unique among industries because the only "product" we make is a promise: we promise that we tested something in a specific way and got certain results. Therefore, anything which strengthens that promise in the eyes of practitioners, managers, customers, and the public, is a good thing.
Attendees will receive an organized description of ethics as they can be applied to NDT work. Attendees will learn from the experiences of others by participating in discussions of ethics as they have seen and applied them in their own work. Attendees will have their own ethical attitudes strengthened by seeing and hearing of the experiences of others.
