In all buildings, offices, and facilities owned, leased, or otherwise occupied by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS), smoking is not permitted except in designated areas if available.
- (1) Outside smoking. Possession of lighted tobacco in any form within 25 feet of the entrance or exit of any building, office, or facility owned, leased or otherwise occupied by OKDHS is prohibited.
- (2) Designation of smoking areas. If adequate space exists, the Office Support Services Division (OSSD) director may designate at least one smoking area in each building or facility. Smoking areas must be adequately vented to the outside to eliminate smoke in both smoking and nonsmoking areas. OSSD determines if adequate space exists and whether ventilation is sufficient to allow an area to be designated for smoking. Smoking areas shall not be used for public business.
- (3) State vehicles. All state vehicles owned, leased, or otherwise utilized by OKDHS are considered nonsmoking.
- (4) Responsibilities. Administrators and supervisors are responsible for the enforcement of this policy. Appropriate signs such as " No Smoking Within 25 feet of Building" and "Smoking Area" are obtained by contacting the Departmental Services Unit, OSSD, State Office. • 1
