Hello, I have raised this in the past but never had a sensible solution to this.
We carry out work in domestic premises where some occupiers smoke, or have been smoking prior to us entering the dwelling.
I am interested in your experiences and management controls so that our people are not exposed to passive smoking (within reason).

What do u mean by 'within reason' as we have people who will not attend a service user who smokes whilst they are working there or has smoked in the hour before and if there is the slightest smell etc. present irrespective they withdraw so more info is needed please and vapouring is treated in the same way as smoking

You would think there'd be an air sampler to test for toxins available for ops working in domestic properties by now.
