[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Airmont
at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
A.
Smoking is prohibited throughout the municipal buildings
owned and maintained by the Village of Airmont except in designated areas
identified by "SMOKING PERMITTED" signs.
B.
Smoking is prohibited in any indoor enclosed work area
occupied by more than one person unless all employees in such area agree to
allow smoking. The rights of a nonsmoker to a smoke-free work area shall prevail.

Smoking is also prohibited in all employee rest rooms,
elevators, hallways, classrooms, auditoriums, gymnasiums, employee medical
rooms and municipal vehicles used by more than one person unless all occupants
agree to allow smoking.
An enclosed smoking room may be designated upon request if space is
available.
Employee cafeterias, lunchrooms and lounges will contain nonsmoking
areas large enough to meet demand.
Conflicts should be brought to the attention of the appropriate supervisory
personnel. Employees may also file a formal complaint with the Village Clerk.
Employees found smoking outside of designated smoking areas will be
considered in violation of this policy and may be subject to penalties as
prescribed by the Village Board.
Copies of these rules will be posted and distributed to all employees
and to all prospective employees upon request.
The Village Clerk shall be designated an agent to assist in the enforcement
of this policy by notifying employees who are in violation.
This policy may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Village
of Airmont. All amendments shall be in conformance with New York State law,
and employees will be notified accordingly.
This policy shall be construed in accordance with state and county law
and shall be superseded by any conflicting provisions.
