The rising prevalence of vaping presents new challenges for employers. Employees are frequently running outside, taking bathroom breaks, or closing their office doors for at least 10 minutes at a time to vape, greatly affecting productivity. More important, you might be alarmed by the health risks associated with vaping, especially if a catastrophic health episode happens at work.
Recent media reports have captured the nation’s attention about people who are ending up in the hospital—or dying—from vaping-related health problems. To avoid liability, you’d be wise to consider your state and local laws and adopt policies to ban workplace vaping.
