What else should an employer or business do to comply with th Act?
Be aware of the weather. The Smoke Free Workplace Act pushes smokers away from the shelter of a building and out in to the weather. When the weather gets bad, employees are naturally going to seek shelter from it. Thus, if you could provide a tarp or cover on poles it would provide shelter and be lawful under the Act. In addition, you will need to watch for cheating by smokers, especially on cold or rainy days. If an employee stands under the eaves of a building to get out of the rain and smoke gets in through a window, it is a violation of the Act.
