The Legal Risk Score of a Smoking Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document mandates strict adherence to a smoke-free environment, which could potentially alienate employees or visitors who smoke, possibly affecting morale or compliance levels.
- The enforcement measures rely heavily on peer reporting and supervisor intervention, which could lead to inconsistent application or perceived favoritism if not managed carefully.
- The policy does not specify consequences for visitors who repeatedly violate the smoking rules, which might lead to ongoing non-compliance issues and challenges in maintaining a smoke-free environment.
