The aim of this case study is give you the opportunity to provide evidence for the following units of
competency:
BSBWHS410 Contribute to work-related health and safety measures and initiatives
BSBMGT403 Implement Continuous Improvement
From previous experience with this company when you were working as a consultant, you know there
was a difference in opinion between the GM, CEO and safety manager in regards to the requirements of
the safety management system (SMS).
These differences in opinion have created some difficulties or issues in regards to the consistent
implementation of the SMS.
1. Based on your knowledge of the OSH Act and Regulations, outline the duties of VIC’s CEO, Gwynn,
in regards to consultation and participation.
2. According to legislation, what is Gwynn’s responsibility in regards to getting agreement from those
being consulted?
Document: BSB41415 S3 Workplace Assessment V2.0 Revision Date: November 2019 Page 7 of 35
3. Based on your knowledge of VIC’s policies, procedures and codes of practice as articulated in their
safety management plan, what are your duties, rights and responsibilities in regards to consultation
and participation?
4. Identify two barriers to your ability to consult that may prevent you getting the support you need for
participation in the implementation of the SMS.
5. Identify two consultation or communication techniques you will implement to ensure teams are
actively encouraged to participate in the implementation of the SMS.

CS2 – Case Study – Smoking in the Workplace – Researching the Issue
Craig, your manager, has received a number of complaints about the number of people smoking close to
the side entrance of the building. The complaints vary in content however the common thread identifies
that the smell of tobacco is filtering into the office. There also appears to be some irritation about the
visual impact of people smoking and a perception that the people smoking are wasting work time.
You investigate the problem and note that the smokers are smoking in the designated smoking area.
The designated smoking area was set up in 2006 as the result of a safety audit identifying that the
current arrangement for smoking did not meet the requirements of the Tobacco Products Control Act
2006.
The designated area is outdoors and approximately 5 meters from the side exit of the building. This area
is only enclosed by a roof to keep the smokers out of the rain. It is clearly signposted and has sand-filled
ash bins.
2. Complete an online search using a minimum of two search engines and list the search engines you
use.
3. Complete a search for relevant information using a Boolean operator. Identify the words you used for
your research.
4. What was the outcome of this search and how many documents did you source?
Document: BSB41415 S3 Workplace Assessment V2.0 Revision Date: November 2019 Page 9 of 35
5. What is the advantage of using a Boolean operator?
6. Using the outcomes of your research, summarise the purpose of the legislation.
Document: BSB41415 S3 Workplace Assessment V2.0 Revision Date: November 2019 Page 10 of 35
7. Has the legislation changed in WA since 2006? Explain your findings.
8. Is the smoking area in this case in the correct place? Explain your answer.
Document: BSB41415 S3 Workplace Assessment V2.0 Revision Date: November 2019 Page 11 of 35
9. The smoking area has been the designated smoking area since 2006 without any complaints. You
would like to find out why this smoking area has suddenly become an issue. You wonder if the
number of smokers has reduced, resulting in a reduced tolerance level for smoking. What types of
triggers change the tolerance levels of a population? (Identify at least two.)

B Outcomes of Research
In an attempt to test your hypothesis, you decide to complete some research on the employee
demographics from 2006.

Total 125 104 107 113 119 127 135 143 150 156
This information is interesting, but it does not help you to understand why the tolerance levels for
smoking have changed.

10. If you need to investigate the number of smokers currently in the business, where might you go to
access this type of data?
11. Privacy issues prevent you being given access to employee data from Human Resources. What
other avenues would you use to obtain the information you need about the number of smokers in
your workplace? Include both online and non-electronic research methods.
Researching through the workplace archives, you discover that your workplace conducted a couple of
campaigns that involved anonymous surveys after the 2006 audit was finalised. You have been given
access to the raw data collected.
To compare the previous data to current data, you use the previous survey questions to conduct some
research of your own.
The following table outlines the initiatives conducted from 2006 to your current research.
Date Event/initiative Comments
Set up of designated smoking Data was collected to determine the need for

7. What does the above data tell you about the effect of the introduction of legislation in 2006 and the
“no smoking” campaign in 2007? (To better illustrate this data, you need to modify the data into
percentages; you may also like to graph it.)
8. What do the outcomes of your survey tell you about smoking in your workplace?
To help you answer these questions, look at the percentage of smokers in 2006 compared to 2007
and then 2015. Then work out the percentage of smokers within both the male and female
population.
9. How did you combine online research with offline information to ensure the information you sourced
was the most current and relevant information for your organisation’s requirements?
