POLICY
Training Policies & Code of Conduct
Welcome to SAFENESS. We are committed to delivering high-quality, internationally accredited health, safety and environmental (HSE) training in a professional, respectful and inclusive environment. The following policies apply to everyone who registers for, attends, or accesses our courses, examinations and learning materials.
1. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Conduct
- Discrimination & Harassment: Any behaviour that promotes hatred, discrimination, harassment or violence against a person or group — on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, disability or any other characteristic — is strictly prohibited.
- Illegal or Harmful Activities: Using our courses, platforms or communications to promote illegal activities, violence, or harm to oneself or others is not permitted.
- Inappropriate Material: Sharing content that is offensive, obscene or otherwise inappropriate for a professional training environment is prohibited.
2. Copyright & Intellectual Property
- Course Materials: All training materials, slides, handbooks and resources provided by SAFENESS — and by the awarding bodies (NEBOSH, IWCF, IADC, IRCA, STI) — are protected by copyright. They may not be copied, recorded, redistributed or resold without prior written authorisation.
- Your Own Work: Participants retain ownership of their own original assignments and are expected to reference third-party sources correctly.
3. Examination & Academic Integrity
- Malpractice & Cheating: Plagiarism, collusion, cheating or any form of examination malpractice is strictly prohibited and will be reported to the relevant awarding body, which may invalidate results.
- Honest Work: Assessments and assignments must be the participant’s own work, with credible sources cited where required.
4. Participant Conduct
- Respectful Behaviour: Participants, trainers and staff are expected to treat one another with respect and courtesy. Bullying, harassment or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.
- Health & Safety: Participants must follow all safety instructions and venue or online-classroom rules while attending a SAFENESS course.
5. Reporting Concerns
If you become aware of any conduct that breaches these policies — including examination malpractice or harassment — please report it to the SAFENESS team without delay. All reports are treated seriously and handled confidentially.
6. Enforcement
Breaches of these policies may lead to appropriate action, including a formal warning, removal from a course or examination without refund, and, where relevant, notification of the awarding body — depending on the seriousness of the breach.
