A Healthier England from 1st July 2007

From 1st of July 2007 virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces in England will become smokefree. A smokefree England will ensure a healthier environment, so everyone can socialise, relax, travel, shop and work free from secondhand smoke.

What do I do checklist

Employers, managers and those in charge of smokefree premises and vehicles will need to:

• display 'no smoking' signs in smokefree premises,
• take reasonable steps to ensure that staff, customers/members and visitors are aware that premises and vehicles are legally required to be smokefree
• ensure that no one smokes in smokefree premises or vehicles

You may also want to take these supportive measures:

• remove ashtrays from smokefree areas
• develop a smokefree policy in consultation with staff
• provide your staff and customers with support to quit smoking
• ensure that your staff and customers know where they can smoke if they choose to

Smokefree England have produced a brochure that briefly explains how the new smokefree regulations are likely to work and also some useful factsheets. These can be downloaded from this from www.smokefreeengland.co.uk

PSC have signed up to support smoke free England and have arranged for new signs to be available for vehicles and places of employment to order your signs email paul@pscfiresafety.com we can email examples if required.
