I know we can't mention business names etc. But I worked in the operating room for 9 1/2 years owned by one of the largest HMO's in Utah.. .. Not to name names. This company had a strict law that we as employees were not to carry or bring concealed weapons to the work place, or face disciplinary action including termintation. I now work for a very large Credit Union here in the state of Utah. I have been here since my old hospital closed due to a new Giant hospital being built on 5300 s. State street. Anyhow during employee orientation I was given an employee handbook from the Credit Union where I now work. This is what it says about "Use and Posession of weapons" I will write it exactly how it is written in the handbook:
"Employee and member safety and security are important to us. Therefore, no employee may posess any deadly weapon on Credit Union premises, including in any vehicle in the parking lot. Exceptions to this would include authorized security personnel; law enforcement officers and concealed weapon permit holders.
Employees who possess a concealed firearm permit must present the permit to Human Resources and their immediate supervisor, prior to bringing the firearm on Credit Union premises. All changes to the status of the permit must also be submitted to Human Resources and their immediate supervisor. They must also abide by these requests:
1. The firearm must be concealed at all times, even when removing a coat, vest, or bending over or reaching.
2. Do NOT inform co-workers, members, visitors or vendors that you are carrying a firearm.
3. Do NOT present or display a firearm or engage a suspected or known person in the act of committing a crime on Credit Union property, i.e., robbery. The only exception to this is if you have reason to believe that should you not act or respond with your firearm, immediate great bodily injury or death will be likely committed against yourself or another third party. This action is dependent upon your confidence in having the skills and accuracy to engage a suspect without causing injury or death to innocent bystanders."
So ever since I have been working at this Credit Union I have exercised my right to carry daily at work, and I considerate an added bonuse to working where I do!
