Code of Conduct VHS House Rules 0. Don't make us make a rule. 1. Be excellent to each other. See the Code of Conduct for further guidance. 2. People are expected to work safely and not create hazards for others, the Space, or its contents. If a person sees someone doing something unsafe, it is considered good practice to advise that person of the hazard, and/or suggest a safer alternative. 3.
