Ethics poses questions about who we are and how we ought to act.  There is some set of standards that govern our actions whether they are right or wrong.  We have certain character traits, such as honesty, compassion, and fairness that make us who we are.  Because of our ethics, there may be concerns or groups that we minimize or ignore.  During this presentation, we will examine the fundamental causes of our actions and examine the Code of Ethics for health and safety professionals.
