Service Disclaimer
Health & safety scope and liability disclaimer.
Effective Date: 2026-05-08
This Service Disclaimer applies to all use of SafetySphere (the "Service") provided by Stoney Technologies Ltd. It is incorporated into our Terms of Service. Please read it carefully — by using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to it.
1. The Service is a software tool, not a substitute for professional judgment
SafetySphere is a software platform designed to assist organizations in managing workplace health and safety activities — including incident reporting, risk assessment, permits to work, audits and inspections, and training records.
The Service is a tool. It is not a safety professional, regulator, lawyer, physician, or insurer. It does not provide professional safety, legal, medical, or insurance advice. Decisions about hazards, controls, work authorization, fitness for duty, regulatory compliance, and worker safety must be made by appropriately qualified persons exercising independent professional judgment.
2. You are responsible for compliance
Customer (and its users) remain solely responsible for:
- Compliance with all applicable occupational health and safety, environmental, labour, privacy, and other laws and regulations, including (without limitation):
- In Canada: federal and provincial OHS legislation (e.g., the Canada Labour Code Part II, Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Act, Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act, BC's Workers Compensation Act, Quebec's Act respecting occupational health and safety).
- In the United States: the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), state OSHA-equivalent statutes, EPA regulations, and other applicable federal/state requirements.
- Identifying applicable hazards and selecting appropriate controls.
- Authorizing and supervising work, including high-risk work governed by permit-to-work systems.
- Investigating incidents, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions.
- Determining the qualifications and training of workers.
- Reporting incidents, injuries, occupational illnesses, and dangerous occurrences to regulators within applicable time limits.
- Maintaining records as required by law, independent of the Service.
- Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of information entered into the Service.
The Service can support these activities, but it does not replace the judgment, certifications, training, or authority of qualified safety, medical, engineering, or legal professionals.
3. No guarantee of compliance, prevention, or outcomes
We do not warrant or guarantee that:
- Use of the Service will result in compliance with any law or regulation.
- The Service will detect, prevent, or eliminate any hazard, incident, injury, illness, or fatality.
- The Service will satisfy any specific regulator's expectations regarding form, content, or retention of records.
- Templates, checklists, default categories, prompts, or content within the Service are appropriate for any particular jurisdiction, industry, site, or task. All content within the Service must be reviewed and adapted by a qualified person before use.
- The Service will be available without interruption, error, or data loss.
Forms and templates within the Service are starting points, not certified compliance documents. Regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction and change over time; you must verify that your use of the Service meets the requirements that apply to you.
4. Critical situations and emergencies
The Service is not designed for, and must not be used as, a primary tool for emergency response, life-safety alerting, or real-time control of hazardous operations. In an emergency:
- Stop work and make the area safe.
- Contact emergency services (in Canada and the US, 9-1-1).
- Follow your organization's emergency response procedures.
- Do not rely on the Service to dispatch help, monitor vital signs, control equipment, or perform any function on which life or limb depends.
5. Third-party content and references
The Service may include or reference third-party regulations, standards, guidance, or content (for example, references to OSHA standards, CSA standards, ISO 45001, or similar). We provide such references for convenience and do not represent that they are current, complete, or applicable to your circumstances. Always consult the official source.
6. Reports, dashboards, and analytics
Reports, dashboards, KPIs, and analytics generated by the Service are based on the data you provide. "Garbage in, garbage out." Inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely data inputs will produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading outputs. Do not rely on Service outputs without verifying the underlying data and applying professional judgment.
7. AI-assisted features (if applicable)
Where the Service includes AI-assisted features (for example, suggested categorizations, draft text, or pattern detection), those outputs are generated by automated systems that can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or biased results. Always review AI-generated content before relying on it for any safety, regulatory, or operational decision.
8. Limitations and acknowledgement
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stoney Technologies Ltd disclaims all liability for:
- Any incident, injury, illness, fatality, property damage, environmental harm, regulatory enforcement action, fine, penalty, civil action, criminal proceeding, or business interruption arising in connection with Customer's operations, regardless of whether the Service was used in those operations.
- Any decision made by Customer or any third party based in whole or in part on information from the Service.
Liability is further governed by the limitation of liability provisions of the Terms of Service.
9. Acknowledgement
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Disclaimer, that you accept responsibility for your H&S program, and that the Service is one of many tools you may use in support of that program — not a substitute for it.
