The main way problems are identified is through customers, employees, and managers who report suspected violations to the telephone numbers of local health departments listed below.

It only takes one person to solve the problem, so don’t hesitate to call.

To obtain a complete copy of requirements see the Utah Clean Air Act Statute and the 
Utah Indoor Clean Air Act Rule. (Compliance with both the statute and rule is required). 

What action(s) you have already taken to try to solve the problem before calling.

Complaints about violations are dealt with at the local health department level. Once a complaint is received, an inspection of the location takes place. If a violation is found, the business, building manager, supervisor, and other appropriate responsible parties are issued an order to correct the situation(s) that are placing them out of compliance with the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act statute and rule. Those not complying with the law are subject to civil monetary penalties for non-compliance.

State and local health departments make every effort to use education as the primary tool to correct violations. However, failure to abide by the requirements can result in penalities to individuals who refuse to comply as well as businesses, government agencies, or organizations who fail to comply.
