Enclosed Workplaces
- An enclosed workplace includes the inside of any place, building, structure or vehicle that is covered by a roof and that employees work or spend time in during their work day (even off-hours when the workplace is closed). An example of an enclosed workplace is the inside of a trailer office on a construction site.
- Under the law, employers must ensure compliance, and implementing a smoke-free and vape-free workplace policy is the most effective way to fulfill this responsibility.
- It is illegal for an employer (or person acting on their behalf) to intimidate, discipline, penalize or dismiss any employee who has sought enforcement of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017.
Enclosed Public Places
- An enclosed public place means the inside of any place, building, structure or vehicle that is covered by a roof and accessible by the public.
