2202.10(a)
- In the absence of restrictions made
necessary by an employee's public responsibilities, he is entitled to the same rights
and privileges as all other citizens. There is therefore no general prohibition against
Commission employees holding jobs, financial interests, or engaging in outside business
or professional activities. Indeed, such outside activities as teaching, lecturing,
and writing are generally to be encouraged since they frequently serve to enhance an
employee's value to the Government as well as to increase the spread of knowledge in our
society. The Chairman may, however, impose reasonable restrictions upon such activities
where appropriate. In addition, an employee may not, whether for or without compensation,
engage in teaching, lecturing, or writing, including teaching, lecturing or writing for
the purpose of the special preparation of a person or class of persons for an examination
of the Civil Service Commission or Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service, that is
dependent on information obtained as a result of his Government employment, except when
that information has been made available to the general public or will be made availabe on
request when the head of his employing office gives written authorization for the use of
nonpublic information on the basis that its use is in the public interest.
2202.10(b)
- No OSHRC employee may accept any outside employment,
engage in any outside business, professional, or other activity, or have financial interests
if such employment, activity or interests would be or appear to be in substantial conflict with
OSHRC responsibilities or the interests of the Government, would interfere with the performance
of official duties, would prevent a regular employee from rendering full-time service to OSHRC
or require so much time that his efficiency is impaired, or if such employment, activity, or
interest would bring discredit on OSHRC or the Government. In addition, no employee may engage,
directly or indirectly, in a financial transaction as a result of, or relying primarily on,
information obtained through his Government employment.
2202.10(c)
- No employee may use or appear to use his Government
employment to coerce any person, enterprise, company, association, partnership, society, or
other organization or instrumentality to provide financial benefit to himself or another person.
