Theology -- St. Leo University Core Values
Saint Leo University fosters several core values for the benefit of its members and the wider communities served by its members. The core value of "Community" encourages members to "listen, learn, change and serve" to create a socially accountable, accepting, unified and interconnected University community. This socially accountable environment, based on trust and respect, assists members of this University community and ultimately the communities that are and will be served by members of the University. The encouraged practices of listening, learning, changing and serving are readily applicable to the establishment, improvement and adherence to an Emergency Action Plan.
Body: The Application of Saint Leo University's Core Value of Community to an Emergency Action Plan
a. Community
Saint Leo University's core value of Community is focused on establishing environments that are socially accountable, encouraging all its members to "listen, learn, change and serve" (Saint Leo University, n.d.). In order to achieve these goals, St. Leo University promotes an essence of acceptance, solidarity and interconnectedness through shared "trust and respect" (Saint Leo University, n.d.)
b. Emergency Action Plan and Community Application
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has established minimum aspects of an Emergency Action Plan, per 29 CFR 1910.38(c) (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). First, there must be established ways of reporting emergencies, such as using an internal emergency number or pulling a fire alarm (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Community members can "listen, learn, change and serve" by contributing their expertise to establish and/or continually improve the optimum reporting methods, entertaining and discussing the contributed ideas of others, learning the approved methods of emergency reporting, developing a heightened awareness that will notice an emergency situation, and in properly employing the established methods of reporting emergencies. Secondly, OSHA requires that there be procedures for evacuation and assignments of emergency escapes (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Community members...
Third, there must be established procedures for employees who stay on in an emergency to maintain vital plant operations before their evacuation (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Community members can "listen, learn, change and serve" by contributing their input to establish and/or continually improve the best possible procedures and people for carrying out vital plant operations, entertaining and discussing the contributed ideas of others, learning these procedures, and staying behind to operate critical operations if they are so assigned, then evacuating when and how they are supposed to do so according to the procedures. Fourth, there must be procedures to account for all individuals after evacuation (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Community members can "listen, learn, change and serve" by contributing their input to establish and/or continually improve these accounting procedures, entertaining and discussing the contributed ideas of others, learning the procedures and assisting others in learning them, and complying and assisting others in complying with these accounting procedures. Fifth, there must be assigned rescue/medical duties for members who must perform them (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). Community members can "listen, learn, change and serve" by contributing their input in establishing and/or constantly improving those duties, entertaining and discussing the contributed ideas of others, learning and assisting other members in learning those duties, and complying and assisting other members in complying with those duties. Sixth, there must be established names or job titles of contacts for additional information and/or explanation of the Emergency Action Plan procedures (OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.). A Community member can…

Zappos & LEAD When looking at Zappos, their Chief Executive Officer Mr. Hsieh and what the company has done over the recent months and years, it is clear that they have a clear and focused set of guiding principles and guidelines that they follow. Indeed, they only hire people that fit with their distinct company culture and this is wise on a number of levels. The ten core values that they
Learning to Lead by Experience Two years ago, I lost the most important person in my life. My heart ached. Before I lost my mom, I thought I was in the most secure point of my life -- but I was not. Throughout the process of grieving, I found out who I truly was. I was someone who took advantage of situations and people, someone who was careless with money by
In these activities psychologists do not steal, cheat, or engage in fraud, subterfuge, or intentional misrepresentation of fact." (APA, Principle C) This is a reinforcement of the consistencies which cross between St. Leo's University's core values and the code of ethics by which the APA remains bound today. This is important because prevailing research today suggests that there have been some fundamental failures in the maintenance of standards for those entering into the practice. As one research
For instance, the APA places a great deal of emphasis on competence. According to Kaslow et al. "Competence is a common a term in psychology today, as it is in other health professions (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, 2000). Educational programs are expected to produce competence, professional credentialing bodies are required to certify individuals as competent, policymakers laud competence, and consumers demand it (Hoge et al., 2005). As
Code of Ethics Core values My core ethical value can best be summed up as follows: 'always put yourself in the other person's shoes.' I consider this to be a modified version of the Golden Rule of 'do unto others as you would have done unto you.' The Golden Rule suggests that you should treat other people as you would like to be treated. In my version, I have modified this dictum
Values The core values of St. Leo's are expressed on the university's website as excellence, community, respect, personal development, responsible stewardship and integrity. These all in some way inform how the university and its staff handle private data, but in particular the values of integrity, respect and responsible stewardship all apply. Respect for others is a core value that relates to private data, because to protect the privacy of the
