Has the institution adopted a policy prohibiting idling?:
A brief description of the policy:
To ensure the health of our workers, as well as to extend engine life, Bard has an Anti-Idling Policy. This idling policy extends to Bard subcontractors, and is hereby expanded upon to include diesel engines and comply with New York State law (NY 217-3.2, 3.3): diesel trucks should idle for no more than five minutes. Employees using Bard vehicles may warm-up (no more than 10 minutes); however, any time they exit their vehicle after that point, engines should be shut down.
