1. Always put safety first. Be safety conscious and don't act in ways that endanger yourself or others.

5. Share the load.

   a. If you have nothing to do offer to help someone that has lots to do.

   b. Carrying equipment from one place to another is a constant task at CVI. If someone asks you to help them with carrying equipment and you are able to do so please oblige.

11. If you have an issue or a suggestion mention it to a committee member, pop it in the suggestion box, bring it up on our mailing list or raise it at a meeting. Use constructive ways to raise your ideas and criticisms. Do not be too critical of the organisation or its members in front of the public. 

Where breaches of the code of conduct have occurred, they will be dealt with in the manner described in the document - Procedure for Breaches of Code of Conduct .
