Scenario: You are a Protective Service Officer at the Bracken Ridge Hospital which is part of the North Brisbane Hospital and Health Service (NBHHS). You are appointed an authorised person and security officer under sections 164-165 of the Hospital and Health Boards Act 2011 (Qld). Your role is to ensure the safety and security of people on health service land and to enforce a range of legislation that is relevant to your role. You are patrolling the grounds of the hospital with your colleagues, Protective Service Officer Michael Farias and Senior Protective Service Officer Marcus Deiley, enforcing the smoking legislation. * Please note that the Bracken Ridge Hospital and North Brisbane Hospital and Health Service are fictional and have been created for this assessment only. For the purposes of this scenario the North Brisbane Hospital and Health Service is established under the Hospital and Health Boards Act 2011 (Qld). Questions: 1. Which legislation do you think applies in this scenario? Explain the main requirements of this legislation in relation to this scenario. 2. Does breaching the North Brisbane Hospital and Health Service Smoking Policy breach the Code of Conduct for the Queensland Public Service? In your answer you must refer to specific sections and justify your response. 3. There are frequent changes to workplace policies, guidelines and legislation relating to smoking on health service land and the public sector generally. Name three strategies that you will use to maintain your knowledge of these. 4. Note: In Question 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c), one of your options under the NBHHS Smoking Policy is to issue a Warning Notice. If you decide to do so, you are to complete the Warning Notice located in the Supplementary Resources on Connect. You are to use the details provided in the scenario and make up any details not provided. a. You are patrolling near the Rehabilitation Unit and observe a staff member, Operational Services Officer David Bogle, smoking in the courtyard of the unit. What legislation applies, and what action will you take? b. Later in your shift you observe an elderly female who is smoking outside the Emergency Department. She is sobbing uncontrollably and is being comforted by two nurses. When you move closer, one of the nurses approaches you and informs you that the elderly female has just lost her husband who has passed away in the Emergency Department. What legislation applies, and what action will you take? Please refer to the NBHHS Smoking Enforcement Procedure in your response. This is located in Supplementary Resources. c. Just before the finish of your shift you are called by Protective Service Officer Matthew Marshall who is training. He has witnessed a staff member smoking in full uniform approximately 10 metres outside the boundary of the hospital grounds. The staff member is wearing a jacket that says “Bracken Ridge Hospital Intensive Care Nurse” on the back. Matthew believes that the staff member should be issued with an Official Warning because they are smoking in uniform in full view of the public during their shift. Discuss with Matthew your interpretation of what legislation applies and what action you recommend. 5. You are approached by Noel who is a hospital cleaner and is halfway through his first day working at the hospital. He asks you what the consequences are for smoking on the hospital grounds because he has heard a rumour that the penalty is instant dismissal. What advice will you give Noel about the consequences of breaching the NBHHS Smoking Policy?
