Revised 7-1-10
In all buildings, offices, and facilities owned, leased, or otherwise occupied by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS), tobacco use is not permitted except in designated areas if available.
- (1) Outside use of tobacco. Possession of 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 tobacco use areas. If adequate space exists, the Support Services Division (SSD) director may designate at least one tobacco use area in each building or facility. These areas must be adequately vented to the outside to eliminate smoke in both smoking and nonsmoking areas. SSD determines if adequate space exists and whether ventilation is sufficient to allow an area to be designated for smoking. Tobacco use areas are not used for public business.
- (3) State vehicles. All state vehicles owned, leased, or otherwise utilized by OKDHS are considered a non-tobacco use area.
- (4) Responsibilities. Administrators and supervisors are responsible for the enforcement of this policy. Appropriate signs such as "No Tobacco Use Within 25 feet of Building" are posted. • 1
