We have one worker that decides that it is his right to smoke where ever he sees fit. In the workshop, toliet, smoko area...etc etc.
If WorkSafe aren’t going to protect our workplaces what hope do you have with the smoke free regulatory body. You may as well join the employee and light up in the spirit of “if you can’t beat them , join them” — Allister Rose
