OUR COMPANY

Ouc Assets

We are entrusted with OUC’s assets and are personally responsible for protecting them and using them with care. Our assets include funds, facilities, equipment, vehicles, supplies, materials, information systems, intellectual property and confidential information.

Personal use of OUC assets is discouraged, but if permitted (such as use of an OUC vehicle for driving to and from work), should be kept to a minimum and have no adverse effect on productivity and the work environment. If you have any questions as to whether such personal use of an OUC asset is permissible, please contact your immediate supervisor or manager or one of the other resources set out in this policy.

BE RELIABLY ETHICAL:

• Always access OUC facilities using approved electronic identification.

• Do not use OUC equipment or information systems to create, store or send content that others might find offensive.

• Do not share your passwords or allow other people, including friends and family, to use your OUC badge or OUC resources.

• Only use software that has been properly licensed and vetted through the OUC IT security screening process. The copying or use of unlicensed or “pirated” software on OUC computers or other equipment to conduct OUC business is strictly prohibited. If you have any questions about whether or not a particular use of software is secure and/or licensed, contact the Digital & Technology Support Center

• Some OUC equipment may be borrowed and used under Tool and Equipment Loan procedures.

• If you are authorized to use purchasing cards (P-cards), use them responsibly and for legitimate business purposes. Also retain all accompanying documentation like receipts and invoices.

STAY ALERT FOR:

• Requests to borrow or use OUC equipment without approval.

• Unknown individuals without proper credentials entering our facilities.

• Excessive use of OUC resources for personal purposes.
