Safety, compliance, and the first-week rules
The rules that get someone sent home on day one, drilled until they're automatic.
Target level: Proficient — Has functional knowledge of the skill and can apply it properly in specific on-the-job settings.
Why this design
Short, repeated, spaced recall until it's automatic. Safety rules, terminology, tolerances, codes — content that must be recalled cold.

By the end, the learner can
- Conflict of interest management: proactively identifies and manages personal or organizational conflicts of interest that could compromise scientific objectivity in client or regulatory relationships
- GCP standards embodiment: conducts all trial activities in full alignment with ICH-GCP principles, serving as a visible model of research integrity for the study team
- Participant welfare prioritization: raises participant safety concerns to investigators and IRBs without hesitation, even when doing so risks trial disruption or sponsor dissatisfaction
Session plan
- 10 minWhat has to be automaticWhere this shows up: engineering offices and labs, working with managers, engineers, technicians. Conditions to expect: analytical, precision-driven, project-based. Entry roles this maps to: Engineering Technologists and Technicians, Except Drafters, All Other, Non-Destructive Testing Specialists, Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technologists and Technicians.
- refuses or modifies project scope, design, or contract terms that violate engineering ethics, safety codes, or regulatory requirements, documenting the rationale
- 5 minRound oneWork the task on your own first. Support is available, but ask for it out loud so the group hears what got you stuck.
- Tools in play: Data base user interface and query software, Analytical or scientific software, Computer aided design CAD software.

- 10 minWhat's still shakyClose the loop: what changed between the first attempt and the last, and what would have to be true for character to hold up on a bad day.
