Event Code of Conduct

Brookhaven National Laboratory is managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA).

This Event Code of Conduct sets standards expected for ethical conduct by participants at BSA-managed events, including attendees, vendors, staff, volunteers, organizers, sponsors, and other stakeholders.

All who participate in BSA-managed events, on site at Brookhaven Lab or off, must conduct themselves in an ethical manner, demonstrating respect through common courtesy, civility, and effective communication.

BSA will not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment, bullying, intimidation, violence, threats of violence, retaliation, or other disruptive behavior.

Anyone asked to stop behavior deemed inappropriate must comply immediately.

If someone is in immediate risk of serious harm on site, dial 631.344.2222 from a mobile phone. From anywhere else, dial 911.

If inappropriate behavior is observed, notify the event coordinator as soon as possible. Concerns may also be reported through EthicsPoint, which is hosted by an independent third party.

Consequences may include ejection from the event without a refund, if applicable. BSA reserves the right to notify appropriate authorities and organizations such as employers, institutions, or programs.
