How is the policy enforced?
A. Human Resources, Communications/Marketing and Public Safety [enter other departments as appropriate] are collaborating with hospital leadership to consistently enforce the smoke-free campus policy.Standard procedures to monitor compliance and violations will be in effect within all hospital buildings and around the campus. Violations will result in progressive disciplinary actions, including termination for employees.All employees who see patients and visitors smoking on the property should be courteous in informing them of the smoke-free policy.
There is an emphasis on “peer enforcement.” Ultimately it is everyone’s responsibility to follow PCC policy while on PCC grounds. We ask that everyone remind each other that we are a tobacco free college. In addition to verbal reminders, failure to comply with the tobacco free policy could result in a $25 citation.
