smoking at work

[wilkesneil]

what are the correct procedures to report someone for smoking at work on the machine.
i have taken photgraphs.

Surely you should just report them to your line 1 manager.....it's up to management as to what further action should be taken.

[DrFilth]

why would you want to snitch on a workmate

[craft1948]

come on chaps...........I'm a smoker and I thought exactly what you typed........it may make him feel better...........

[caslass]

Agree with ahms, have you nothing better to do, like your own work!!!!

[buildersmate]

Surely the correct procedure is to draw upon the nearest fire extinguisher and squirt it at the seat of the smoke.

[Iggle Piggle]

come on AB'ers this guy is trying to uphold a right in law not to breath cancerous fumes.
Unfortunately there are still a minority of sick minded people who think it is their right to smoke in the workplace - it is not.
Wilkesneil, make sure you have support of others and take it to your supervisor or manager they have a legal duty to sort it out. Good luck.
(Just check this guy is working in an enclosed area !)

[chrissa1]

I agree with ahms.

[Iggle Piggle]

not stereotyping anyone, but it is widely known that smoking is illegal in an enclosed workplace so the miscreant is likely to: a) not care or b) be doing it to wind folks up.
I have worked in places where approaching someone directly results in verbal and once, physical abuse.

[DrFilth]

if you go round telling people they are sick minded no wonder you got a slap

[wilkesneil]

this guy doesnt speak to anyone. anything you say to him just results in verbal abuse back and end up in a big argument. this is the last port of call, supervisors know he does it, he smokes about 40 a day while at work for 8 hours. i dont mind him doing it but its just his attitude to everything and everyone and he thinks hes above everyone else and the law..

put a sign up right on his machine ---subtle hint

[mccfluff]

seems a bit odd your superviosr not doing anything, do they know the company gets fined also?

your council has a smoking ban officer and they are usually right pedantic tw@ts but you could call them
