What should be done if someone is smoking at their post?
Thread Content
I’m on duty today; I just went to the workshop to pick up the inspection tools. We found a worker smoking in the control room; our workshop uses coal as fuel – it’s a gas production workshop! The company stipulates a fine of 300 yuan for smoking within the factory premises. I submitted it to the company office in accordance with the company’s regulations. Or persuasion and education? Can’t decide for now? What do everyone think we should do, especially what do the brothers on the front line think?
In our factory, those caught smoking at their posts are fined at least 1,000 yuan and assigned to that post for three months. In severe cases, the employment contract will be terminated outright! Note: State-owned enterprise!
You can’t blame the employees for that. First of all, I want to ask whether smoking is allowed in your company’s office. If smoking is permitted there, then you have no right to reprimand them, unless your company has a designated area for smoking. In companies like the one you mentioned, it’s generally not allowed to bring cigarettes or lighters into the premises, let alone smoke in the workshops. So go back and tell your supervisors that everything should start with oneself. Requiring employees.
What boldness! Hand it over! I’m also a worker; I’ve never thought about smoking in the control room. Sometimes I smoke secretly in the restroom... or outside the factory. We work in an oil refinery. I’m not sure how dangerous your workplace is. Although smoking in the control room is considered safe, the person who smokes there has problems with their mindset:@
Our company and workshops have experienced several such incidents; the minimum fine imposed was 500 yuan, and one technician who was later found to be at fault also faced additional fines. Recently, the company’s performance has been poor, so salaries are barely being maintained, yet the pressure to meet certain performance targets has increased. It’s around 5000; there’s an element of showmanship on the part of those in charge of safety at the company, but if the managers catch you breaking these rules, they won’t be lenient.
Everyone is responsible for production safety; things should be done in accordance with the rules
If you are a frontline manager, check whether there is someone to assist you with the inspection; if not, carry out the education yourself. Deduct if it exists. If it’s middle-level management, then focus on education, and deduct accordingly.
It depends; if it’s just one person, then educate them first, but if there are multiple people, then we’ll have to identify them and take action against them
That makes sense. How should I put it? They could be considered frontline managers
In the case of serious disciplinary violations, it’s best to follow the rules. When the system is not implemented properly, the consequences are unimaginable; it’s akin to giving illegal instructions.
They must be severely punished for acting with knowledge of the law. It’s different from sleeping; otherwise, it’s difficult to manage
1. Since it has been seized and relevant regulations exist, it should be handled in accordance with those regulations. 2. Your company can set up smoking areas in relatively safe locations; many multinational companies do this. At the same time, the company should provide proper guidance and actively promote the dangers of smoking.
It depends on where smoking takes place; smoking in the boiler room is fine, but smoking in a GMP clean room is absolutely unacceptable! Even if not fired, I have to be off work for three months! As for leaders smoking in the office, it’s a matter of policy – there really is nothing that can be done about it!
Our company just fires people outright; there’s nothing to say about it!
In such a case, dismiss them immediately without hesitation! The consequences of delaying action would be severe!
There’s a saying: What those in charge of security have to do is \"create something out of nothing and turn small issues into big ones\": lol
Penalties, regardless of severity. If you stay in the world of crime, you’ll have to pay the price someday
Severe punishment is inevitable; such things must be dealt with seriously. Safety comes first – it’s a matter of principle, and factories cannot afford to lack principles. This is not the same as sleeping.
For every chemical manufacturing company, smoking in the workshop control room is absolutely taboo. Regarding the issue of smoking, it’s similar to how Dayu managed floods by adapting to the circumstances rather than relying solely on severe punishments. Our approach is to establish dedicated smoking areas in non-explosive zones, where people can smoke after lunch. It’s probably not realistic to completely ban smoking; instead, by ensuring proper inspections and precautions, we can eliminate potential risks.
We are also quite strict about smoking; a fine of 500 is imposed each time it’s caught.
Our company, upon discovering such situations, fires everyone involved without exception
