Survey Report - Workplace Smoking Policies

This survey asked about the smoking policies in effect at ORC member companies.  Twenty-one companies responded to the survey questionnaire with 19 indicating that their companies did have a smoking policy and two indicating that they did not.  Only 7 responders indicated that there was a total ban on smoking on company property, the remainder indicated that that smoking was prohibited only in certain areas.  One responder said they were planning to initiate a total ban in 2011.  Thirteen responders indicated that employees could smoke in their personal cars when parked in a company lot. 

Of particular interest in this report are the comments from responders regarding issues that were encountered when total smoking bans were put in place and the additional information regarding workplace smoking submitted. 

The survey report is attached below.
