Commentary
Given the harmful effects of smoking, a no-smoking policy is widely considered a sound WHS/OHS measure for employers to introduce. In introducing the no-smoking policy, employers should consider a fair process of transition so that all workplace participants’ concerns are considered. The policy will need to be reviewed and adapted to suit your business needs.
You should obtain independent legal advice prior to terminating the employment of any employees, or any contract you have with a contractor, for breach of the no-smoking policy.
