DON'T BELIEVE MEDIA MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE WCB "BAN"
EXCERPTS FROM BC WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD'S
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATION - Core Requirements
PART 4: GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 4-14
ENVIRONMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKE
Controlling exposure
4.81 The employer must control the exposure of workers at any workplace to environmental
tobacco smoke by
(a) prohibiting smoke in the workplace, or
(b) restricting smoking to designated smoking areas or by other equally effective means.
Designated areas
4.82
(1) A designated smoking area provided under section 4.81(b) must be clearly identified to be
workforce by signs or other effective means and be a
(a) safe outdoor location, or
(b) room structurally separated from other work or break areas.
(2) If necessary to prevent tobacco smoke from entering a workplace, the designated smoking
room must be provided with a separate, non-recirculating exhaust ventilation system which
(a) meets the requirements for a smoking lounge specified in ASHRAE Standars 62-1989,
Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality or other standard acceptable to the board,
(b) is designed in accordance with expected occupancy rates,
(c) maintains adequate air flow from non-smoking to smoking areas, and
(d) discharges directly to the outdoors.
Case closed. And now, with lifted spirits, a little bit of "sad" fun:
Excerpt from the aforementioned page, subsection (3) of section 4.82:
"(3) Except in an emergency, an employer must not require a worker to enter an indoor area
where smoking is permitted under section 4.81 until the tobacco smoke has been effectively
removed."
Without meaning to be offensive to the members of the Workers Compensation Board, this hopefully gives the reader an idea on
the kind of totally absurd, false information that has been fed to the Board by the gangsters of the
antismoking cartel, including Ministry of Health, and its enablers, the health officers.
The level of sick hysteria, paranoia and knee-jerk reaction is so high that even short, temporary
exposure to ETS is perceived as a danger to health to the point that it has to be regulated!!
Smokers, how much longer are you willing to be taken for a ride by the lying bastards of certain
health organizations?
