In this issue
E-cigarette use in Australia, or ‘vaping’, has recently increased, meaning many employers need to consider the implications for their workplaces. Employers should ensure that tobacco smoking and vaping, in or around the workplace, does not create a risk to the health and safety of employees. Moreover, workplaces are a great setting to promote healthy behaviours through workplace education and awareness. By supporting employees to quit smoking / vaping, employers can benefit from a healthier and happier workforce and a safer workplace for everyone.
NCETA have just released a fact sheet to provide employers with evidence-based information about vaping. It is free to download from the WorkLife resources page, together with other fact sheets, how-to-guides, toolbox talks and posters about alcohol and other drugs in the workplace at https://worklife.flinders.edu.au/external-site-resources
