From July 2007 Britain has been smoke free in public places and buildings (those which are enclosed).
This law also applies to businesses and a fine of up £2,500 can be forced upon a company which doesn’t comply with the no-smoking regulations, and anyone smoking on premises is essentially breaking the law and steps should be taken to prevent the person from continuing.
It is therefore essential that any business ensures that its employees must be aware that smoking on premises is strictly prohibited. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to ensure that there is sufficient signage on premises informing staff of the non-smoking policies being implemented. The law requires that any No Smoking sign has a minimum area of 210mm by 148mm and should contain the words ‘It is against the law to smoke on these premises’ as well as ‘No Smoking’ in large lettering.
These signs must be prominently displayed in a workplace with special care for them to be placed near exits and entrances.
No Smoking signs must form an important part of office supplies and should be as important to offices and workshops as office furniture and manufacturing tools. At Supplies Web we can provide a range of office supplies such as ‘No Smoking’ signs for the office or work place which help a business comply with this latest legislation.
We have these office supplies in a range of sizes and materials such as acrylic and aluminium and they are suitable for a wide range of workplace environments.
