Absolutely customers want work done in their house then they should not smoke in your presence or a few hours before you arrive

If I was running my own company i think i would put something like this in the terms and conditions of a maintenance contract.

Your an employee, you have the right to work within safe environment.

Its your work environment, the customer does not have a responsibility but your employer does.

The other flip side of this is when you go to your other jobs they automatically think you stink of fags.

 

Cant see what you can do really apart from cancel the contract as they will just continue to smoke regardless.

 

No one is going to stop a few hours before and during.

As others have said

 

 

In some cases it may also be appropriate to add smoke-free conditions into any service agreements with clients. All those who are visited regularly should be notified of the guidance or conditions in advance.

The employer should ask any service users or clients who are visited regularly not to smoke for a certain period prior to any pre-arranged visit and during a visit. The client should also ensure that no-one living in the house with them smokes.

 

Either ask and if they ignore refuse to work or put up with it.

Personally I would ask them to not smoke near me whilst working. (Us ex smokers are the worst !!!!).

its their house,what next,wrong colour carpet,wrong religon,wrong music...who are we to dictate what a customer does,if you dont like it cancel the contract,where there to work not judge..

Is that not what I jsut said.

Either lump it or dont work there.

 

But it is a bit rude to smoke whan there is a non smoker about and they have requested.

 

I suppose you could get your own back and urinate with the lid down.

i personally wouldnt have an issue but my concern is sending lads in to that environment. If one said i wont work there because they are smoking what should i do?
