The Company’s pledge to provide a safe and healthy work environment bans smoking on Company properties, including but not limited to break areas, bathrooms, and work areas.

Following a fire risk assessment an employer must provide the following in order to safeguard the safety of ‘everyone’ in case of fire:

Too get these service users down the stairs an emergency stair lift would be at the top of the stairs and should be used in the event of a fire, once you think that all of the service users are out you should send the designated person in to see if the area is clear. All of their medicines are in the building and some may be due to be taken, this could harm their health if medicines aren’t taken at the correct time and also many of them could be burnt away if they aren’t taken with you, it could also be a risk of infection because if you were in a hospital and this happened an outbreak could happen if certain diseases aren’t treat and they also could be passed around. Another thing that could occur could be the smoke off the fire, if a service user has breathing difficulties or has asthma this could have an impact on their health, the service user’s family must be called as well so they know what is going on. You should also consider that the fire could’ve been an act of sabotage and you must work out where it started and how if there is any of the building left. Service user’s safety is at risk because they could die in the event of the fire, a staff member could be pregnant, there safety is at risk and so is there baby’s, so I think they should be evacuated first to increase both of their safety. It is important to maintain dignity when removing service users from the

Although it was not exciting material, it was interesting. The most interesting aspect was the use of assessment in the program. Some may have never considered the use of assessment in smoking cessation before. Mrs. Luckett spoke on how encourage the smoker to quit and well as the process for leading the smoker to cessation. Along the way, it is important to “assess” the smokers’ readiness to quit. Dr. Susan Lofton’s speech, “Horton Hears a Sue,” offered important information on how to the nurse can protect herself in legal proceedings. Not surprisingly, the best defense is good, ethical patient care and meticulous, factual, non-judgmental documentation. Another very interesting point Dr. Lofton made was the impact a nurse’s social media profile can have in a courtroom. It does not seem right that a nurse’s weekend trip to the beach that she worked hard to afford should be used to make her look like a stripper or an alcoholic, yet that is the reality of the modern age. As nurses, we have the responsibility to present ourselves and in turn, our profession, as respectable, ethical

Smokers face many challenges in the modern world, and one of the biggest happens in the workplace. Many large – and small – employers have taken a strict zero-tolerance approach to smoking in the workplace, and that can literally leave smokers with no place to

No, I don’t think Rob’s choice was justified. Rob did not hire this person because she was a smoker nor because she was less qualified. His reason for hiring her was, “Rob had to go with soft reasons. Cathy was a smoker. Rob didn’t like smoking – he considered it disgusting and a sign of weakness of character.” I feel as though Rob was being discriminative towards her.

In the Romano Pitesti case, Tickton-Jones’ Management Team is faced with a situation that is not altogether uncommon in the business world, in that some employees feel that members of the Sales staff are being given “special” treatment by the company. Romano’s actions have probably not been as bad as what has been described to Management, but due to the fact that employees are still trying to find their place in the new, combined company, any hint of “unfairness” is immediately put under a microscope by other employees, and therefore, Management will have to take some sort of action, in order to show the other employees that their concerns are being taken seriously.

The Feiner Points of Leadership is one of the interesting and application oriented books I have read. I would recommend the book to my friends and colleagues who aspire to be a good leader. This book should be read by all the leaders and managers to be successful. It exemplifies some of the important skills manager or leader should practice at the same time it explains the mistakes one should avoid being a successful and effective leader. Michael Feiner’s experience in PepsiCo, given examples and instances in his tenure makes it easier to understand the facts in detail. These examples also helps retain all the points and laws explained in the book.
