Smoking is prohibited throughout the city facilities and in
any offices visited by the public on a regular basis. Smoking is permitted
only in designated areas identified by "smoking permitted" signs.
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.
Conflicts should be brought to the attention of the appropriate
supervisory personnel. Employees may also file a formal complaint
with the Warren County Health Service Department, which has the sole
jurisdiction to enforce the new law on a countywide basis.
Copies of these rules will be posted and distributed to all
departments, employees and to all prospective employees upon request.
This policy may be amended from time to time by resolution of
the City of Glens Falls. All amendments shall be in conformance with
New York State law, and employees will be notified accordingly.
