Ohio Code of Conduct for Professional Land Surveyors
This online engineering PDH course examines the statutory mandates, administrative governance, and professional ethical standards regulating land surveying practice in the State of Ohio.
This course examines the administrative reach of the State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4733, demarcating regulatory disciplinary powers from civil matters such as boundary line disputes, fee disagreements, and financial restitution. It codifies the core principles of the Ohio Code of Ethics (OAC Chapter 4733-35), detailing mandatory protocols for direct supervisory control, conflict of interest disclosures, professional seals, and truthful public statements.
Furthermore, this course separates official board enforcement actions and court cases to illustrate the legal consequences of technical non-compliance, unauthorized firm practice, and ethical breaches.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to professional land surveyors licensed in Ohio who are required to demonstrate continuing professional competency in engineering ethics as a condition for their license renewal.
