Certificate
Holders
CWEA does not monitor its certificate holders'
work performance. The Code relies mostly on an
honor system where certificate holders are
expected to perform their work within the standards
expected of a certificate holder. In other
words, it is expected that those who are
certified by CWEA will work safely with basic
competence (this is what CWEA certifies). If it
comes to the attention of CWEA that a certificate
holder is not performing at a standard of
very basic competency and safety levels, then CWEA
is likely to look into the matter. The
standard of basic competency expected of
certificate holders is the same as the standard of
basic competency set for the certification
process. |

Certificate
Applicants
All CWEA certificate applicants are required to go
through each step the certification process
honestly and without circumvention any of the
procedures designed to determine basic
competency. Some examples of circumvention
of the certification process would be providing
false work history on an application, using
prohibited reference materials during a test,
and taking
test materials from a test site. Any action
that might undermine CWEA's process of certifying
basic minimal competency will be investigated. |

Procedures for Processing Potential Code of Ethics Violations
The Ethics Procedures provide a fair process for dealing with ethics complaints. The Procedures define the participants in an ethics case and how each case will be handled. Individuals going through the process will be given opportunities to defend themselves and appeal any decisions made. The Ethics Officer handles all official ethics complaints and determines if there is enough merit in each case to follow though with the Procedures. If appropriate, the Ethics Officer may suggest mediation to resolve ethics disputes without the formality of going though the entire procedural process.
