A.
Smoking is prohibited through the facilities 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 area shall prevail.
C.
Smoking is also prohibited in all rest rooms, elevators,
hallways, auditoriums, gymnasiums and areas containing office equipment used
in common.
D.
Smoking is also prohibited in conference or meeting rooms
and municipal vehicles used by more than one person unless all occupants agree
to allow smoking.
An enclosed smoking room may be used if space is available, if the designated
area is not open to the public and the smoking area shall be separated from
a smoke-free work area by walls or some other means, equally effective in
reducing the effects of smoke on the smoke-free area other than a ventilation
system or air-cleaning devices.
Conflicts should be brought to the attention of the appropriate supervisory
personnel. Employees may also file a formal complaint with the Commissioner
of Buildings. The agent will only be responsible for informing people that
smoking in an area in which smoking is not permitted is in violation of the
law.
Employees found smoking outside of designated smoking areas will be
considered in violation of this chapter and Article 13-E, § 1399-n
et seq. of the Public Health Law of New York.
Copies of this chapter will be posted and distributed to all employees
and to all prospective employees upon request.
This policy may be amended from time to time by resolution of the Village
of Saugerties Board of Trustees. All amendments shall be in conformance with
New York State Law, and employees will be notified accordingly.
