Code Of Conduct For Ascld/lab Volunteers (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

conflict or compete with those of ASCLD/LAB or which may affect or appear to affect their judgment

as a volunteer of ASCLD/LAB. Prior to accepting a volunteer assignment from ASCLD/LAB, active

inspectors who participate in non-ASCLD-LAB inspections or pre-accreditation inspections are

required to notify the Executive Director, or designee, of the circumstances by letter or e-mail in which

such information as may be necessary to assess potential conflicts of interest shall be included. If,

under any circumstance, a real or apparent conflict of interest is present, the volunteer must disclose

the conflict and act to eliminate or effectively mitigate the conflict.

Upholding the Code of Conduct: ASCLD/LAB volunteers are obligated to abide by this Code. Any

volunteer who has reasonable grounds for believing this Code is not being honored in good faith by

another volunteer, paid staff member or member of the Board of Directors has an obligation to report

such belief to an ASCLD/LAB official (e.g., Team Captain, Lead Assessor, Board member, Executive

Director, or Accreditation Program Manager) who shall take appropriate action in response thereto. A

knowing failure to report a breach of this Code by another is a breach itself of the Code of Conduct.

Availability of Inspectors: Trained ASCLD/LAB volunteer inspectors/assessors shall make

themselves reasonably available for service on ASCLD/LAB inspection/assessment teams, subject to

approval by their parent agencies and the needs of ASCLD/LAB.

Post-employment affiliations: Upon termination of their affiliation with ASCLD/LAB, volunteers

are obligated to return or destroy all documents or other materials developed or obtained in their

capacity as ASCLD/LAB volunteers, as directed by the Executive Director. Volunteers are bound

forever not to share, disclose or release confidential information, as set forth above.

Sanctions: Volunteers are subject to possible sanctions for violating this Code of Conduct. The Board

of Directors or its designees are authorized to assess the circumstances of alleged breaches of this

Code and to impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate.

ATTEST: As a volunteer of ASCLD/LAB, I understand the terms of this Code of Conduct and agree to be

bound by it as a condition of service.
