Smoking in the workplace—Canadian law
AbstractThere is pressure on all levels of government in Canada for laws to protect the public and workers from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Some workers have attempted to use the general provisions of present Canadian occupational health and safety law as protection from ETS. Generally, these attempts have been either unsuccessful or of limited utility and the expectation, based on existing legislation, is that any such future attempts would produce similar results. A number of municipal bylaws have been enacted to control smoking in the workplace, specifically in office buildings, and these seem to be effective as far as they go. Since it appears that existing occupational health and safety legislation in Canada does not adequately protect workers from the effects of ETS, the problem may have to be dealt with in specific legislation or regulations. There now seems to be some movement in this area. Since the beginning of 1989, smoking has been banned in all federal buildings. In addition, the Canadian Parliament has passed a law restricting smoking in workplaces subject to federal jurisdiction. The Ontario government has also introduced legislation to control smoking in workplaces under its jurisdiction.
