Expeditions require the existance of a code of conduct, that is adapted to their special requirements.
You can find the Code of Conduct - Expeditions here (it has to be signed by every participant directly before the expedition starts and will be collected by the Chief scientist):
Persons of trust
To make sure that expedition participants have the possibility to personally talk to persons of trust, two ombudsmen (always: one male & one female) will have to be appointed at the beginning of each expedition by the chief scientist. Ombudsmen have to be other than the chief scientist him- or herself.
Several related documents and policies accompany the code:
