From 1 July 2007 all public places and workplaces in England have been smoke-free. The smoking ban was introduced in Wales on 2 April 2007 and in Scotland in March 2006. The legislation aims to protect employees in all workplaces from the ill-health associated with smoking.
Employers need to be aware that under the legislation, it is the duty of any person who controls or is concerned in the management of smoke-free premises, to stop people smoking there and if they fail to comply with this duty, they are committing an offence. Employers therefore need to have and maintain a Smoke-free Policy outlining the restrictions on smoking at work and how non-observance will be dealt with.
This Smoke-free Policy prohibits smoking in all enclosed and substantially enclosed areas in the workplace, including company vehicles. Members of staff are only permitted to smoke whilst off duty (in official break times only) and in unenclosed designated areas. The policy applies to all visitors, customers and other people who enter the workplace.
