1.2 Explain how health and safety is monitored and maintained and how people in the work setting are made aware of risks and hazards and encouraged to work safely.

The National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standard 2 Partnering with Consumers requires all health professionals to provide consumer-centred care and to design the care in partnership with the patient and the family (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in health Care, 2012). The NSQHS Standards (2012) identified patient and family-centred care and engagement as one of the national priorities. As such, in order to improve patients’ safety outcomes and reduce hospital acquired conditions and readmissions and provide client centred services, the IPE recognized the need for effective interprofessional teams to collaborate and engage patients and families by implementing IPE core structures and processes (Brewer & Jones, 2013). The Curtin University’s ICF encompasses five interprofessional capabilities: “reflection, communication, team function, conflict resolution, and role clarification” (Brewer & Jones, 2013, p. e47). The purpose of ICF is to guide and assist health care students for collaborative practice to deliver safe and high quality care, and client-centred care (Curtin University, 2011). Therefore, health science students are expected to be competent in all skills and meet the criteria outlined in Curtin University’ ICF.

The safety and well-being of United States citizens continues to grow more important with each passing day. Events such as the Newtown massacre, and several other active shooter situations have led to a greater need for private security. Chris Hertig and Charles Thibodeau say, “The use of force against violent, aggressive or resistant persons is a necessity in the protection of people, property and image.” So exactly what amount of force can a private security officer use in a given situation? First one must look to when force is required, and what levels of force are granted under “Continuum of Force” (Hertig & Thibodeau).

Layton begins his essay describing what engineering is; that its work is in the marketplace rather than in a laboratory. He then states the “engineer’s dilemma” is based on bureaucracy, not capitalism. Engineers are called the “original organization man,” and are important to large businesses, but a social revolution amongst them would not end their terms of marginality. Moving on, Layton then goes over engineering and its history in America.

The United States health care public safety net system largely provides healthcare services to the uninsured and the under insured. However, this vulnerable population still cannot access adequate care and compared to the privately insured population, the uninsured receive less preventative and specialty health care services. The need for safety net providers to improve the delivery and access to care has led to increased funding through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) as well the expanded community health centers (CHCs) (HealthCare.gov, 2010). Following the passage of the PPACA and increased federal support for the CHCs, the American public health care system witnessed significant changes. Some of these changes include increased access to healthcare, restructurings of private health coverages and containing Medicaid and Medicaid ().

Safeguarding children also involves the requirements towards the adults who are in contact with them inside the school setting on a daily basis. The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 established the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) The DBS processes criminal records checks and manages the Barred Children’s and Barred Adults’ Lists of unsuitable people who should not work in regulated activities with these groups. The DBS identifies those whom are unsuitable to work or volunteer with vulnerable groups. It is illegal for a barred person to apply for such work (paid or voluntary), or for a charity to employ a barred person in such work. It is also

Most health and safety legislation places place the responsibility of health and safety on the employers. The responsibilities may however be delegated to other competent persons such as fire warders, first aiders and care takers but the employer still
