CODE OF ETHICS FOR EXAMINERS
Pesticide
Technician Program
As an Examiner, I acknowledge that I have the
responsibility to protect the integrity of the Pesticide Technician Program by
ensuring that I conduct a fair, equitable and proper examination process based
on the Technician Manual to measure the competency of a candidate. Accordingly, I agree to adhere to the
following Code of Ethics:
I will act, at
all times, in a manner which will not compromise the integrity of the Standards
Development Branch, Ministry of the Environment (MOE) approved examination
process.
I will maintain the confidentiality of the
examination and the answers to the questions thereon. If the evaluation procedure is deemed to be an open book
examination I will ensure no resources other than the approved Technician
Manual is used during the examination and that any time limit required to write
the examination is followed. I will
ensure any other examination requirements or conditions are followed.
Before conducting an examination I will request to
see photo identification unless the candidate is personally known to me.
I will allow no copies to be made of the
examination except as required to evaluate candidates.
I will make available the examination to candidates
in a timely manner.
I will not assist the candidate in determining the
answers to the questions on the examination.
I will provide to the candidate within two working
days the results of the examination. I will also provide, within two working
days, to a candidate who has successfully completed the examination based on
the Technician Manual by obtaining a mark of 75% or higher, a Technician
Identification Card that has been issued to me by the respective PIC or PIRC
and that is pre-numbered and includes my printed name. I will sign the Technician Identification
Card verifying the candidate successfully completed the examination and date
the card indicating when the examination took place.
I will mark all examinations and forward, by mail
or fax, to the respective PIC or PIRC, as instructed, the following
information: the grade obtained by each
candidate I examine; the name of the candidate and, if successful in passing
the examination, the Technician Identification Card Number; and the date the
examination took place.
I will retain on file all examination answer sheets
that indicate a mark of less than 75% for at least 60 days in case of a dispute
and, unless otherwise instructed by the PIC or the PIRC, destroy all
examination answer sheets that indicate a mark of 75% or higher.
I acknowledge that if, in the opinion of the PIC
and/or the PIRC, I fail to follow this Code of Ethics, or I commit an offence
under the Pesticides Act or
Regulation 914, or otherwise give the PIC or the PIRC good reason to doubt my
honesty or integrity, I may have my designation removed by the registering PIC
or the PIRC and I will not longer be authorized to offer examinations. In addition, I understand and agree that all
aspects of the examination process are subject to and available for a quality
assurance check as may be requested by the PIC, PIRC or MOE.
