TOBACCO USE AND SMOKING
Tobacco use and smoking will only be allowed in the designated tobacco use and
smoking areas only.
The use of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes (vapor) and chew
tobacco and non-tobacoo products, is not allowed in the manufacturing
area, restrooms, lunchroom, office areas, training room, outside of the
employee’s car in the parking lot or the entrance and exit areas. The
designated tobacco use and smoking area will be provided as long as
it is maintained at an acceptable level and users will be required to
dispose of tobacco and smoking material (i.e., cigarette butts, cigars,
etc.) appropriately.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
(Employee Reporting Requirement Policy)
The Workers' Compensation Employee Reporting Requirements Policy will
communicate the employee requirements for the reporting of work-related injuries or
illness. Workers' Compensation covers all employees for all injuries or illness that occur
as a result of performing their job duties through the course of employment.
YFAI has the responsibility to provide each employee with a safe place to work and
prompt medical treatment in the event of a work-related accident or illness. Employees
have the responsibility to work safely, report unsafe work conditions, report injuries
immediately and in the event of an injury or illness, return to work as soon as released
by the physician.
Injuries that result from an activity that is social or recreational are not normally covered
by workers' compensation. This includes lunchtime sporting activities. Injuries that occur
during these activities and need medical attention should be reported to your health
insurance company.
All injuries incurred on the job must be reported to your appropriate supervisor, Health
and Safety, or to Human Resources immediately. An employee who is off work due to a
work-related injury or illness diagnosed by a physician and approved will receive
payments from Workers’ Compensation; not through YFAI. Benefits will be paid in
accordance with your location's state law.
In order to assist with prompt medical attention and a safe return to work, employees
must use the following procedures for work-related injuries or illnesses.
1. All injuries and illnesses must be reported IMMEDIATELY to your team
lead/supervisor and the Health and Safety manager.
