36/ Smoke-free Workplace

It is Reprotec UK’s policy that all of its workplaces are smoke-free and that you have the right to work in a smoke-free environment.

You must also adhere to customers smoking policies whilst working on site.

Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), is prohibited throughout the entire workplace with no exceptions including Reprotec UK vehicles.

Reprotec UK will inform employees if provisions have been made for smoking, including electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), and where designated smoking areas can be located.

Where areas have been designated, it is your responsibility to ensure that all cigarettes and cigarette ends are properly extinguished and you leave the area clean and tidy after use.

Failure to adhere to this policy may result in formal disciplinary action being taken against you, as set out in the Company’s disciplinary procedure.

You should be aware that enforcement authorities can issue penalties and fines if you are found guilty of smoking in a smoke-free place.  You will be personally liable for any fine or fixed penalty imposed for non-compliance.
