StFX Safety Programs

StFX Safety Programs

StFX Safety Programs are developed for critical or complicated tasks that contain clearly defined and detailed processes and requirements, including (but not limited to) training, competency verification, responsibilities, forms, etc. Most critical tasks require a program in the workplace to control identified hazards to help ensure employee safety. Employees must be trained in and follow all Programs that pertain to them. The requirement for Safety Programs is identified through the continuous and comprehensive hazard assessment processes and are reviewed by a JOHSC. All Safety Programs will be developed with input from the employees who do the work. They know the hazards best!

*Contractors note that permission is required from your StFX authorized representative prior to doing Safety Absolute or Hot Work tasks.

Safety Absolutes

The Four Safety Absolutes are the safety rules that the University has determined to be of utmost priority. Failure to follow these rules may create a greater risk of injury to our employees, contractors, students, faculty and the public and may be subject to severe penalties. StFX management must demonstrate zero tolerance for any willful disregard of these Safety Absolutes by our employees or contractors.  StFX employees and contractor employees who violate any safety rules including the Four Safety Absolutes are subject to immediate disciplinary action including and up to immediate removal from the jobsite.
