Do You Need to Post Your Smoking Policy?
Many states require that employers clearly identify the nonsmoking and smoking areas of its workplace with signs. See State Laws for smoking/no smoking laws that may apply in your state(s).
In some states, the sign must include the internationally recognized no smoking symbol (a red circle containing a depiction of a lit cigarette with a line drawn diagonally through the entire circle). Some states require specific wording for smoking or no smoking and, in some cases, a fine for violating the nonsmoking zone.
In addition, some states require employers to post their smoking policies in conspicuous areas around the workplace.
Where do you post your policy?
- employee locker room
- employee cafeteria, break or lunch room
- company bulletin board
- other areas where the employees may easily see the policy
