If you think you’ve committed an ethics violation, be sure to let us know. It’s much better to report an issue than to try to hide it.

If you don’t disclose violations, you may be subject to sanctions from ARRT. But most R.T.s who report potential violations don’t have their credentials revoked.

ARRT investigated nearly 2,000 ethics violations in 2016, and only 36 cases (2 percent) resulted in revocation. The most common ethical violation? Offenses related to alcohol accounted for 47 percent of the cases we reviewed in 2016.
