Workplace Policy
Smoking is now illegal within enclosed workplaces with only a few special exemptions. This legislation has been put into place to protect workers from exposure to second hand smoke and any organisation that turns a ‘blind eye’ should be encouraged to take action. It is important that organisations not only understand the need to have a formal policy in place but also to consider how they can support workers to abide by the policy. Policies that are developed in consultation with employees are more likely to be supported and not seen as coercive.
