On May 1, 2007 the Smoke Free Arizona Law goes into effect.  We need volunteers to contact businesses to tell them about or class that will prepare them for the new law and prevent them from having to pay fines from $100 to $5,000.

Use this form to send us information about the contacts you make.

1.  Hello, my name is _______ and I am a volunteer with INPSIREHealth.org.  We are a tax exempt non-profit organization concerned about drug abuse prevention and we would like to help your business be ready for the Smoke Free Arizona Law that goes into effect on May 1, 2007.

2.  Do you have a minute or two for me to tell you about our program?

         If yes proceed to #3. 

         If no ask if there is a better time to talk?  Then schedule that time to call back.

         You can also ask for their email address so we can send them more information.

3.  Our Smoke Free Arizona class will teach you everything you need to know so that when the law goes into effect you will have met all the requirements and you will not have to worry about having to pay any fines.

4.  Did you know that placing an international no smoking sign with a cigarette in a red circle with a slash through it may get the message across to people coming into your business but it does not meet the laws signing requirement and could get you a $100 for each door?

5.  Some of the things covered in our class include:

·          You will need to know how the law affects your business

·          What your policy on smoking will be

·          How to notify the public and your employees about the law and your policy

·          Where and when smoking is allowed and not allowed

·          When smoking is permitted in company owned or operated vehicles

·          If your business or part of your business may be exempt

·          Who can report you for violations

·          When your business may be inspected

·          Where you can leave ashtrays out

·        What you can do with employees who violate the law or complain about violations

 

6.  The class takes one hour and costs only $100 which is how much it will cost you the first time you are fined for not doing what you would have learned in our class.

7.  Closing: 

 If they say yes:  verify their contact info including:

•   company name
•   Contact person
•   Street address
•   City, state zip
•   Phone number
•   email address

Answer whatever question you can and then send the rest of the questions to us at info@inspirehealth.org

 If they say no:  Always be courteous and respectful.  Not everyone will want to stage The Run and rejection is nothing personal.  Never try to oversell of force feed anyone.  You will be wasting your time and will give us a bad name.

 If they sound uncertain: 

Offer to have someone talk to them about more details

Offer to email or mail them more information

Give them links so they can go right to the web page
