Smoking in the Workplace. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that smoking at work is an issue which affects company productivity, as well as giving rise to health implications especially in an environment which is potentially dusty. The parties therefore agree to the immediate implementation of the following measures to minimise the incidence of smoking at work.
Smoking in the Workplace. With regard to the issue of smoking in the workplace, the State and CSEA reaffirm commitment to working toward a smoke free environment by continuing to address the issue through discussion that will ensure work location input.
Smoking in the Workplace. Section 19 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act states that an employer shall, so far as is practicable, provide and maintain a workplace in which employees are not exposed to hazards. It has been noted that passive smoking presents an unacceptable hazard. The workplace includes but is not limited to all Company premises, the cab of motor vehicles, rear of furniture pans, as well as Customer’s premise, or anywhere that an employee is requested to conduct business on behalf of the Company. An employee engaging in smoking in the workplace exposes other employees through passive smoking to an unacceptable hazard. Smoking is therefore not permissible in the workplace (as defined). Employees engaging in the habit of smoking will do so outside the workplace and only during morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
Smoking in the Workplace. During negotiations the company and the union discussed the adverse impact of smoking, both on the health of the employee who smokes and on the health of other employees in the workplace. The parties discussed the advantages of a smoke free workplace and the need for effective programs to comply with provincial and municipal legislation regarding smoking in the workplace. The plants and office are encouraged to continue in their efforts towards accommodating the needs of both the smoker and the non-smoker.
Smoking in the Workplace. 42.1 Smoking is prohibited within the school grounds, in all buildings, enclosed spaces or near any hazardous materials or substances whilst at work.
Smoking in the Workplace. The Company does not condone smoking in the workplace. However, employees who smoke of their own volition must only do so in the designated areas. The Company has set aside “open air” areas for smoking. Smoking will be confined to the meal and/or rest breaks provided for in this Agreement. Employees found smoking in areas other than those designated and provided or at times other than the meal and/or rest breaks provided for in this Agreement will receive a disciplinary warning. A second offence may result in dismissal.
Smoking in the Workplace. 23.1 The company is committed to providing a safe work and healthy place, free of any hazards or practices that could be harmful to employees, contractors or visitors. To this end, the Sunshine facility shall be a smoke free environment, except for the provisions of clause 23.2 herein.
