allergic to trainers cigarettes

I can certainly understand the allergy problem.

I am allergic to cigarettes and was sent out with a chain smoker on my training.

I threw my pillow, and sleeping bag away after I got out of the truck.

 

Yes, eat beans, boiled eggs, lots of cheese...

 

Get another trainer if it bothers you that much then, or just open your own window every time. You know I am sure there is something he dislikes as well, have some fun with his inconsiderate ###.

 

You can haul gasoline and smoke while driving, unless your company says no.

Never heard of a DOT ban on smoking in the cab, hazmat or not.

One has a right, by law, to a smoke free workplace, but since the driver smokes too, that ain't gonna work out.

 

If there are two employees in a confined space, does that make it a public workplace subject to state smoking rules?

Just askin'

I checked the FMCSA regs and there is a ban on smoking during the loading, unloading and transport of HazMat material.

Now, I realize our instructor have meant that the school had a ban on smoking in the school trucks, which makes sense.

I would expect many companies to ban smoking, due to the negative effects on non-smoking drivers.

 

It does not have to be a public workplace....any workplace is covered wherever there are two or more workers together.

You could, I suppose argue that a solo worker is entitiled to work in a space that is smoke free, i.e., free from 2nd hand smoke in the environment from a prior person smoking in that space....generally a ban on smoking would mean no one ever smokes in that area....

 

I'm not sure if it's all of Ontario or just around Toronto but tickets have been written for a solo driver smoking in his truck... workplace laws and an overly anal cop.

I never did hear if there was an actual conviction on this.

 

Well, since this is a US driver, the Canadian laws don't apply.
