Ethics and pro­fes­sion­al prac­tice cov­ers man­age­ment eth­i­cal issues with­in the legal, reg­u­la­to­ry, and social con­text, eth­i­cal issues of com­mu­ni­ca­tion and con­sul­ta­tion fac­ing OHS Pro­fes­sion­als, and eth­i­cal deci­sion-mak­ing in the con­text of cor­po­rate and per­son­al respon­si­bil­i­ties. The course pro­vides stu­dents with the­o­ret­i­cal back­ground (mod­els and frame­works), prac­ti­cal skills (assess­ment, delib­er­a­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion), and pro­fes­sion­al tools (codes of con­duct and legal frame­works). The­ses out­comes enable the OHS Pro­fes­sion­al to under­stand ana­lyze, nego­ti­ate, and act in accor­dance with inter­na­tion­al, nation­al, cor­po­rate, and per­son­al standards.
