sec.67 Employed security guard to return weapon to employer at or before end of shift
This section applies if— a person performs duties as a security guard as an employee during a shift worked by the guard for the employer; and the employer issued the guard with a weapon during the shift. At or before the end of the shift, the guard must return the weapon to the employer at the premises where the employer issued the weapon to the guard. Maximum penalty—10 penalty units. However, subsection (4) applies— if the employer required the guard to perform security guard duties at a place at least 250km from the premises ( remote guard duties ); and the guard went to the place to perform the remote guard duties; and the guard is no longer required by the employer to perform the remote guard duties, for example, because the duties are finished. The shift is taken to end at the earliest practicable time at which the guard can return the weapon to the employer after the guard is no longer required by the employer to perform the remote guard duties.
