THE COMMUNITY STANDARD

Useful. Specific. Safe.

  1. 01
    Protect confidential information

    Do not share customer names, proprietary settings, controlled documents, personal information, or private jobsite details.

  2. 02
    Separate experience from authority

    Field perspective does not replace engineering direction, employer procedures, manufacturer guidance, or a qualified safety decision.

  3. 03
    Give useful context

    Describe the equipment class, operating condition, test method, limitations, and the point you are trying to understand.

  4. 04
    Respect every career stage

    Experienced technicians and people entering the field should both be able to ask clearly, answer honestly, and learn without posturing.
