Community guidelines

Serious about the subject.
Respectful towards each other.

The point is better understanding, not winning the loudest argument.

Bring the context

Explain the work activity, relevant jurisdiction and what you are trying to understand. Support technical assertions with credible sources. Distinguish a measured finding from an opinion or a recollection.

Protect people and confidential information

Do not post personal health information, names of injured workers, identifiable client documents, confidential sites, credentials or access details. Anonymise examples and obtain permission where needed. Do not make unsupported allegations about people or organisations.

Keep advice in proportion

This forum is not an emergency service or a substitute for competent site-specific assessment. Do not rely on a comment as legal or clinical advice, authorisation for hazardous work, or evidence of compliance. For immediate danger use the applicable emergency and workplace reporting arrangements.

Disclose interests and respect ownership

Declare commercial relationships when sharing products, events or opportunities. Use the bulletin board for relevant listings. Do not flood discussions with sales messages, upload standards without permission or paste entire copyrighted articles.

Moderation

New posts and comments are reviewed before publication. There is no guaranteed review time. Moderators may request changes, reject or remove material, lock a discussion, or suspend an account. Marking a thread resolved means the discussion has reached a useful stopping point; it is not technical certification.

Reports and appeals

Use the report action beside a post or comment for content concerns. Reports are visible to moderators, not other readers. For a moderation appeal or account matter, use the operator contact. Do not repost removed content while a review is pending.

No manufactured engagement

Do not use multiple accounts to manipulate helpful votes, impersonate someone else or simulate a discussion. Profiles and professional descriptions must be honest.
