Smoke-Free Working Environment Policy Workplace Health and Safety (New Zealand)

Managing should recognise that the use of tobacco and smoking presents a health hazard that can have serious implications for both the smoker and the non-smoker and that smoking habits may have life-long adverse consequences. Support a safe and healthy environment. This policy was developed to meet the requirements of the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 and the Smoke-free Amendment Act 2003 and is based on the following principles: Everyone is entitled to a smoke-free environment in all the areas normally used for work, everyone who does not smoke, or who do not wish to smoke in their place of work, must, as far as is reasonably practicable, be protected from tobacco smoke in their place of work and the implementation of this policy depends on everyone responding courteously to the desire for a smoke-free environment. The Smoke-Free Working Environment Policy Workplace Health and Safety (New Zealand) mobile app allows you to replace your paper safety checklist with a cell phone, tablet or even a computer. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, facility, location, smoking policies and captures employee's signature. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your OHS Safety records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
