Document Summary
Des(cid:272)ri(cid:271)e how (cid:862)risk(cid:863) relates to the ap c (cid:1005)(cid:1004)(cid:1004) ethi(cid:272)s fra(cid:373)ework. Describe and apply a procedure for resolving ethical conflicts. Conflict of interest when you stand to receive an additional benefit in your work, such as a gift, that could compromise your ability to impartially do your job. In order to avoid risks, it is best that the solution to a dilemma is not close to the boundaries of code of ethics or law. It may come down to your personal judgement. Apegbc puts the (cid:862)safety, health, a(cid:374)d welfare of the pu(cid:271)li(cid:272)(cid:863) as the first i(cid:374)flue(cid:374)(cid:272)e whe(cid:374) making decisions. Identify a small action with low risk and minimal consequences first. If this does not work, a larger step is taken: this process is continued until a viable solution is made. If immediate action is needed, then gradual escalation should be avoided. If the process of one of these steps involves additional risk, it should be avoided.
