SMOKING POLICY

 

Statement of Policy

In the interest of providing a safe and healthy environment for employees, customers, and visitors and in accordance with the Michigan Clean Indoor Air Act, the following policy has been adopted:

As of January 1, 2007, smoking is prohibited in all buildings and equipment owned and operated by the Barry County Road Commission. 

Notice of Policy

The success of this policy depends upon the thoughtfulness, consideration, and the cooperation of smokers and nonsmokers.  All employees share in the responsibility for adhering to and enforcing this policy.

Copies of this policy are to be distributed to all employees.  Prominent signs displaying the following statement shall be posted at all building entrances:

Smoking is prohibited except outdoors of buildings and equipment, pursuant to the Michigan Clean Indoor Air Act.

Special Consideration

Supervisors will provide special consideration to employees who have identified themselves, with proper medical documentation, as having hypersensitivity to tobacco smoke.  Examples of action that may be taken are:

  • Prohibit smoking in the hypersensitive person’s work area.
  • Relocate the work area of the hypersensitive individual, if possible, to an area where there is no exposure to tobacco smoke.

Enforcement of Policy

Complaints

Persons observing a violation of this policy should bring it to the attention of their supervisor.  The right of the nonsmoker to protect his/her health and comfort will prevail over an employee’s desire to smoke.

Investigations

Supervisors receiving the complaint will investigate and take action to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Violators

Persons found to have violated this policy will be subject to disciplinary action(s) in the same manner and magnitude as violations of other agency policies.
