Getting Involved and Making A Difference With USMWF
Welcome
USMWF has prepared this handbook to provide you with an overview of our guiding principles. It is intended to familiarize you with important information about USMWF, as well as provide guidelines for your experience with us.
It is obviously not possible to anticipate every situation that may arise or to provide information that answers every possible question.
No organization is free from day-to-day problems, but we believe our personnel policies and practices will help resolve such problems. All of us must work together to make the organization viable and healthy. This is the only way we can provide a satisfactory experience that promotes genuine concern and respect for employees, volunteers and family member victims. If any statements in this handbook are not clear to you, please contact the Executive Director or designated representative for clarification.

Code of Conduct
Purpose
We want to be recognized as a committed, empathetic group of individuals involved in making workplaces a safe place to work. In order to achieve our purpose and fulfill our mission USMWF volunteers performing duties for USMWF are to adhere to the following Code of Conduct.
Values
The following values guide our every action. We are aware that we are judged by both by say and do. We pledge to meet or exceed these standards.
Integrity
The foundation of every decision and contact we make should be ruled by our personal integrity. This exhibits our commitment to be honest and open.
Respect
This is for fellow members and anyone we interface with as contacts. We embrace individuality and have reverence for the opinions of others.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest level of performance. We honor innovation and teamwork. We never stop reaching for the greatest performance we are capable of attaining.
Accountability
We take responsibility for our actions as individuals and USMWF members. We work together toward our goal of workplace safety, support one another and strive to never let our family members down.
What to DO and What Not to DO
Our actions give meaning to the four core values of integrity, respect, excellence, and accountability. To help ensure our actions reflect these values and to guide our volunteers in their efforts for USMWF, we have compiled a list of What to DO and What Not to DO. Obviously, we cannot cover every situation, but the following list will provide a roadmap to follow and address many of the common concerns “expressed by other volunteers”.
