For any new or existing business, it is your responsibility to ensure that the work environment is safe and that any potential hazards are marked clearly with appropriate signage. In terms of the law, you are legally required to display the Health and Safety Law Poster.
It will be mandatory for all entrances to buildings (non private dwellings) to display a no smoking sign at EVERY entrance to the building. You will also have to display a non smoking symbol in any vehicle that has shared use (ie more than one person will travel in the vehicle). See our Smoking Ban section for more details on this.
You are also legally required to report accidents using an accident report book
to your free health and safety signs guide and catalogue. Here you will find useful and
essential information on legal requirements for health and safety signage plus a full
catalogue of our full range of health and safety signs and equipment.

It is against thelaw to smoke inthese premises
No Smoking
For VehiclesSmokefree vehicles will need to display a nosmoking sign in each compartment of the vehicle in which people can be carried. This must show the international nosmoking symbol at least 70mm in diameter.
When will the new smokefree law start? Sunday, 1 July 2007.
Who will enforce the new law?Local councils and port health authorities will enforce the new law and will have the power to appoint enforcement officers, such as environmental health officers, trading standards or local community support officers.
Does the law just apply to cigarettes?No, it covers all substances that a person can smoke. These include manufactured cigarettes, handrolled cigarettes, pipes, cigars, herbal cigarettes and water pipes (including shisha, hookah and hubblebubble pipes).
Can I still have a staff smoking room? No, but you can have an outdoor smoking shelter, although there is no requirement for you to do so. If you decide to, you will need to ensure it is not ‘enclosed’ or ‘substantially enclosed’.You may also need to consider other issues such as planning, licensing and building control, noise and litter.
Can I smoke in my own car? Yes, the new law doesn’t cover vehicles used primarily for private purposes.
I share a work vehicle with another smoker. Can we still smoke? No, the law is designed to protect smokers and nonsmokers from secondhand smoke. Smoking will only be permitted in work vehicles that are for the sole use of the driver and are not used by anyone else for work either as a driver or passenger.
I work from home. Will it be required to be smokefree? If more than one person uses any part of a private dwelling solely as a place of work, then it will be required to be smokefree.
Does new smokefree law apply to premises and vehicles used for voluntary work?Yes, the new law applies to all work, including voluntary work.
I occasionally use my private car for voluntary work, will it need to be smokefree? No, vehicles used primarily for private purposes will not need to be smokefree.
Are no smoking signs required in heritage buildings?Any premises required to be smokefree will need to display no smoking signs that meet the requirements of the new law prominently at entrances. The new law allows flexibility for signs to be designed and displayed in a way that fits the décor of premises.
Where can I get more information? For further information, visit www.smokefreeengland.co.uk or call the Smokefree England information line on 0800 169 169 7. You can also ask your local council for advice and support.
You are also free to personalise your signs by changing the words ‘these premises’ to refer to the name or type of premises – such as ‘this gym’,‘this salon’ or ‘this restaurant’
A smaller sign consisting of the international nosmoking symbol at least 70mm in diameter may instead be displayed at entrances to smokefree premises that are only used by members of staff – providing the premises displays at least one A5 area sign or are located within larger smokefree premises, such as a shop within an indoor shopping centre.
