Seton Hall University
is committed to providing its employees with a smoke-free work environment
to protect the health, welfare, and comfort of employees from the adverse
effects of tobacco smoke from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. The intent of
this policy is to avoid conflict between smoking and non-smoking faculty
members, administrators and staff employees, and ensure accommodations for
nonsmokers' preferences.
Effective July 1, 1994 the following restrictions on
smoking went into effect.
Smoking is prohibited within all University buildings
including the rotunda and all arcade areas of Walsh Library. This includes
all meeting rooms, computer operations rooms, classrooms, all offices,
hallways, elevators, public or reception areas, restrooms, gymnasiums and
corridors, and other common-access areas. Common-access areas of all
residence halls are smoking-prohibited areas.
Smoking is allowed in a residence hall room by mutual
consent of its residents.
Smoking is prohibited in the eating facilities on
campus. This includes the University Club, Galleon Room, Pub, Law School
cafeteria and all Lounge areas.
Smoking is prohibited in all areas where a safety hazard
exists, such as storage and hazardous materials handling areas.
Smoking is prohibited in all Seton Hall University
vehicles used for transporting employees and/or students, supplies or any
other use.
Smoking is prohibited in the Security Guard booths.
Procedure:
In view of the fact that each and every employee
benefits from a smoke-free workplace environment, the enforcement of this
policy is most equitably placed as a responsibility on all members of the
University community. Visitors are expected to honor this policy. The
success of this policy depends on the thoughtfulness, consideration and
cooperation of non-smokers and smokers alike. Any questions regarding the
above may be directed to the Director of Human Resources.
