What can a worker do about someone smoking at work?
Local public health units will carry out inspections and investigate complaints in workplaces to enforce the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. The act prohibits smoking in enclosed workplaces in Ontario in order to protect workers from exposure to second hand smoke. The act repeals the Smoking in the Workplace Act, which was enforced by the Ministry of Labour. For more information on the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, how it affects your workplace and who to contact about having it enforced, please visit the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion website at: http://www.mhp.gov.on.ca/english/health/smoke_free/legislation.asp.
